College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.

The arithmetic, on New England Institute of Technology's own numbers. Net price $36,483 × 2 years = $72,966 total. Median earnings $48,684 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $324 a year of premium. $72,966 ÷ $324 = 225.2 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves -$66,486. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
