Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses UE'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 | $14,451 | $60,550 | 2.1 years |
| $30–48k | $12,347 | $51,734 | 1.8 years |
| $48–75k | $13,711 | $57,449 | 2.0 years |

| $110k+ | $24,936 | $104,482 | 3.7 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.2 years, the average time graduates took (60% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Kinesiology / Exercise Science graduates 4 years after graduating ($63,830) minus $35,534 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in IN (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $28,296 a year.

Kinesiology / Exercise Science at Indiana colleges
Every Indiana college we cover that reports Kinesiology / Exercise Science graduate earnings, highest first. Net price is the school-wide average after grants. Colleges marked "mostly 2-year" or "bachelor's & associate" award more associate degrees than bachelor's; their bachelor's programs often serve working adults finishing a degree (for example, nurses completing a BSN), so their graduates' earnings can run higher than those of students starting college at 18.
