Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses Jarvis Christian University'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 | $11,606 | $49,442 | 3.4 years |
| $30–48k | $6,276 | $26,736 | 1.8 years |
| $48–75k | $5,364 | $22,851 | 1.6 years |
| $75–110k | $5,540 | $23,600 | 1.6 years |
| $110k+ | $14,877 | $63,376 | 4.3 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.3 years, the average time graduates took (12% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Business Administration graduates 4 years after graduating ($48,225) minus $33,516 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in TX (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $14,709 a year.

Business Administration at Texas colleges
Every Texas college we cover that reports Business Administration graduate earnings, highest first. Net price is the school-wide average after grants. Colleges marked "mostly 2-year" or "bachelor's & associate" award more associate degrees than bachelor's; their bachelor's programs often serve working adults finishing a degree (for example, nurses completing a BSN), so their graduates' earnings can run higher than those of students starting college at 18.
