Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.7 years, the average time graduates took (31% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Construction Management graduates 4 years after graduating ($105,887) minus $35,797 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in PA (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $70,090 a year.
