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

The arithmetic, on Yeshiva University's own numbers. Net price $49,965 × 4 years = $199,860 total. Median earnings $71,353 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $22,993 a year of premium. $199,860 ÷ $22,993 = 8.7 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $260,000. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
