Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses MSOE'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 | $11,607 | $50,490 | under 1 year |
| $30–48k | $15,919 | $69,248 | 1.2 years |
| $48–75k | $14,495 | $63,053 | 1.1 years |
| $75–110k | $19,034 | $82,798 | 1.5 years |
| $110k+ | $30,292 | $131,770 | 2.4 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.3 years, the average time graduates took (50% 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 ($93,229) minus $37,564 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in WI (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $55,665 a year. Before taxes, loan interest and earnings given up while in school. Method
