Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses WSSU'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 | $11,463 | $50,208 | 1.4 years |
| $30–48k | $12,412 | $54,365 | 1.5 years |
| $48–75k | $14,681 | $64,303 | 1.7 years |
| $75–110k | $18,813 | $82,401 | 2.2 years |
| $110k+ | $21,405 | $93,754 | 2.5 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.4 years, the average time graduates took (33% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Medical Laboratory Science graduates 4 years after graduating ($70,450) minus $33,516 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in NC (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $36,934 a year. Before taxes, loan interest and earnings given up while in school. Method
