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

The arithmetic, on Point University's own numbers. Net price $25,335 × 4 years = $101,340 total. Median earnings $38,740 fall $9,620 short of the $48,360 high-school baseline, so the premium this formula divides by is not positive and no break-even year exists on institution-wide pay. A programme here earning $58,360 would clear the $101,340 bill in about 10.1 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.

34% finish their degree — 66% leave carrying the cost without the credential. Spread the $101,340 bill across that completion rate and the cohort pays $298,059 per graduate produced — our math, and the figure a payback number never shows.
