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

The arithmetic, on Stonehill College's own numbers. Net price $33,016 × 4 years = $132,064 total. Median earnings $77,745 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $29,385 a year of premium. $132,064 ÷ $29,385 = 4.5 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $455,636. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
