The arithmetic, on Texas Woman's University's own numbers. Net price $11,963 × 4 years = $47,852 total. Median earnings $56,544 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $8,184 a year of premium. $47,852 ÷ $8,184 = 5.8 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $115,828. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
