Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.6 years, the average time graduates took (30% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Finance graduates 4 years after graduating ($84,633) minus $38,580 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in UT (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $46,053 a year.

Finance at Utah colleges
Every Utah college we cover that reports Finance 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.
