2 years to pay back

Median debt of $23,501 against a $12,021 earnings premium over a high-school graduate: about 2 years to pay back.

The payback figure is absolute: median federal debt divided by the earnings premium over a US worker holding only a high-school diploma ($39,520). The letter is relative — it places this college against every US college we hold data for, so a C is genuinely average rather than a pass mark. Figures cover federally aided students only and mix all subjects at the institution — how we grade.
