What Wesleyan College costs to finish, and how fast it pays back
Graduates of Wesleyan College took 4.1 years on average to finish, so the yearly price adds up to the total below. Payback compares former students' earnings with what high school graduates earn in Georgia. The figures follow your residency and income choices above.
| Family income | Net price / yr | Cost to finish | Years to pay back |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0–30k | $11,045 | $45,174 | 4.2 years |
| $30–48k | $13,317 | $54,467 | 5.0 years |

Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of former students 10 years after starting ($44,317) minus $33,516 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in GA (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $10,801 a year.
