Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses Louisiana Tech 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 | $7,676 | $33,467 | under 1 year |
| $30–48k | $8,619 | $37,579 | under 1 year |

| $110k+ | $16,207 | $70,663 | 1.3 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.4 years, the average time graduates took (41% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Biomedical Engineering graduates 4 years after graduating ($85,454) minus $32,488 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in LA (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $52,966 a year.
