Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.3 years, the average time graduates took (57% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Architectural Sciences and Technology graduates 4 years after graduating ($66,518) minus $35,797 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in PA (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $30,721 a year.
