Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses MTU'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 | $2,045 | $9,325 | under 1 year |
| $30–48k | $3,373 | $15,381 | under 1 year |
| $48–75k | $6,187 | $28,213 | under 1 year |
| $75–110k | $12,813 | $58,427 | 1.6 years |
| $110k+ | $23,107 | $105,368 | 2.9 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.6 years, the average time graduates took (34% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Medical Laboratory Science graduates 4 years after graduating ($69,388) minus $33,411 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in MI (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $35,977 a year.
