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 Biomedical Engineering graduates 4 years after graduating ($96,353) minus $38,580 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in UT (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $57,773 a year.
