How return changes across schools, majors, paths, and accelerants

RoEDU™ isn’t a single number, it’s a way to understand how different education choices shape financial outcomes.

The same student can experience dramatically different returns depending on where they go, what they study, how they earn credits, and which programs they use to reduce cost or time.

Below are the core ways RoEDU™ comes to life across Tuition Covered.

RoEDU™ by School

Not all colleges deliver the same return

Two schools can charge similar tuition and produce very different outcomes.

RoEDU™ by School helps you understand how institutional factors influence return, including:

  • Typical cost after aid
  • Time to degree
  • Major-level outcomes within the school
  • Graduate earnings patterns

Instead of asking “Is this a good school?”, RoEDU™ reframes the question:

Is this school a good investment for the outcome I want?

What you’ll see

  • RoEDU™ Scores by school
  • Variations by major
  • How return changes relative to cost

RoEDU™ by Major

What you study matters...sometimes more than where

Major choice is one of the strongest drivers of earnings outcomes.

RoEDU™ by Major shows how different fields of study perform across:

  • Earnings potential
  • Employment outcomes
  • Time to breakeven
  • Risk and variability

A major with a higher upfront cost may still produce a stronger RoEDU™ if earnings accelerate quickly. A lower-cost major may still struggle to break even depending on outcomes.

RoEDU™ makes these tradeoffs visible before you commit.

What you’ll see

  • RoEDU™ Scores for majors
  • How the same major performs at different schools
  • Cost vs earnings tradeoffs

RoEDU™ by Degree Program

The structure of a degree changes the return

Not all degrees are delivered, or priced the same way.

RoEDU™ by Degree Program evaluates how different program formats impact return, including:

  • Associate, bachelor’s, and graduate degrees
  • Online vs in-person programs
  • Accelerated and transfer-friendly pathways
  • Time-to-completion differences

Two students pursuing the same credential can experience very different RoEDU™ outcomes based solely on how they earn it.

RoEDU™ highlights which program structures maximize efficiency without sacrificing outcomes.

What you’ll see

  • RoEDU™ comparisons across degree types
  • Time-to-degree effects on return
  • Cost efficiency by program design

RoEDU™ Accelerants

Ways to increase return without changing your goal

Sometimes the biggest gains in RoEDU™ don’t come from changing schools or majors, but from changing how fast or how cheaply you earn credits.

RoEDU™ Accelerants are tools, programs, and policies that can materially improve return by:

  • Reducing total cost
  • Shortening time to degree
  • Lowering debt exposure

Examples include:

  • CLEP & credit-by-exam
  • Yellow Ribbon Program
  • Transfer credits
  • Employer tuition benefits
  • Military and veteran education programs

These accelerants can dramatically change a RoEDU™ Score.

What you’ll see

  • How each accelerant affects RoEDU™
  • Where they create the biggest lift
  • Which students benefit most

There’s no single “best” education path, only better-informed ones.

Whether you start with:

  • A school you’re considering
  • A major you’re interested in
  • A degree format that fits your life
  • Or an accelerant that could lower cost

RoEDU™ gives you a way to evaluate the return; clearly and consistently.
