Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses Marquette 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 | $22,269 | $93,530 | 1.6 years |

| $110k+ | $36,813 | $154,615 | 2.7 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.2 years, the average time graduates took (66% 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 ($95,728) minus $37,564 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in WI (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $58,164 a year.
