Research findings
Finding
Modeled ROI at Landmark College looks modest.
Estimated ROI is about 31% using Scorecard cost and earnings fields in this extract.
Interpretation: Cost and earnings fields in the model do not show a large earnings premium relative to net cost at the campus average.
Limitation: Program mix and aid can change the picture; campus ROI is not a substitute for program-level earnings.

Landmark College tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $66,540
Finding Landmark College charges about 2.3× the national private non-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $66,540. That is about 2.3× the national private non-profit median ($29,325). Versus the Vermont median ($48,795), sticker tuition is 36% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 5.6×.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
Interpretation Published tuition measures sticker price relative to private non-profit and geographic peers; it does not equal what undergraduates typically pay after aid.
Limitation Sticker comparisons omit room, board, and institutional aid; average net price and income-band net prices are the stronger signals of typical family cost.
Evidence: published tuition at Landmark College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Landmark College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Landmark College is $56,954.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $56,954 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates).
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
Interpretation Average net price is a stronger institutional cost signal than published tuition because it incorporates grant aid.
Limitation The campus average masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average.
Key takeaway Landmark College’s published tuition substantially overstates typical undergraduate cost: average net price is about 14% lower after grants and scholarships.

What is Landmark College's tuition?
Landmark College tuition (published undergraduate sticker price) is $66,540 in the latest College Scorecard data. Average net price after grant aid is $56,954 for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid.
How much does Landmark College cost?
Reported tuition is $66,540 and average net price is $56,954 in the latest College Scorecard data. On-campus room and board is estimated at $14,886 annually.
Why is Landmark College's net price so much lower than tuition?
At Landmark College, published tuition is $66,540 while average net price is $56,954—about 14% lower. Average net price subtracts grant and scholarship aid from cost of attendance for undergraduates receiving Title IV aid (College Scorecard). Institutional aid therefore compresses sticker price into a lower typical undergraduate cost signal. The campus average still masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average. EDsmart Data treats the sticker–net gap as an analytical finding, not advice about individual aid offers.
What explains Landmark College's return on investment in EDsmart Data?
EDsmart Data models ROI using campus average net price ($56,954), completion (43.0% within 150% of normal time where reported), and median earnings ten years after entry ($29,813). High completion and strong mid-career earnings relative to net cost raise modeled ROI; the estimate is institution-wide and not program-specific. Debt-to-earnings ratios, when available, further contextualize borrowing pressure. Limitations include suppressed fields, program mix, and labor-market variation over time.
