Location: Claremont, California Buyer beware before you throw your money at a degree from Scripps College in California. Their median salary of around $54,000 at 10 years after entry doesn’t seem so bad.
At least, not until you compare it to the $55,000 average cost to attend.
Brewton-Parker College
Location: Mt. Vernon, Georgia
To say, Mt. Vernon, the location of this school in Georgia, is a college town is an understatement.
Although it’s also a small town of around 2,500 people – and half of them attend this school. If that doesn’t turn you off, maybe the -$92,000 ROI will.
Crown College
Location: Bonifacius, Minnesota
You could choose a much worse school than Crown College in Minnesota, that’s for sure, but they also aren’t without their issues. Take for instance the average salary of an alum who’s been out of school for six years: $35,000.
That may be a good starting salary, but for someone who’s had a degree and been working for several years in their professional field, it’s not terrific. The good news is, Crown College accepts over 55% of applicants, and they offer some pretty good online programs.
Miles College
Location: Fairfield, Alabama Miles College has some serious issues it needs to address. Perhaps the one that’s most pressing is the pitiful 20% graduation rate.
The ROI for attending is also around -$164,000. Yikes!
Emory & Henry College
Location: Emory, Virginia There are a few reasons Emory & Henry College has landed on this list.
The first being the fact it costs around $180,000 to earn your four-year degree. The school also has a low graduation rate at just over 47%.
