Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses BYU's school-wide net price (no college reports it by major) and this major's graduate earnings.
| Family income | Net price / yr | Cost to finish | Years to pay back |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,444 | $52,220 | 1.8 years |
| $30–48k | $10,112 | $50,560 | 1.7 years |

| $110k+ | $20,542 | $102,710 | 3.5 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 5.0 years, the average time graduates took (28% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Physiology graduates 4 years after graduating ($68,321) minus $38,580 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in UT (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $29,741 a year.
