Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.1 years, the average time graduates took (84% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Neuroscience graduates 4 years after graduating ($143,067) minus $41,763 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in NH (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $101,304 a year.
