Location: Billings, Montana
After reading about some of the previous schools on this list, Montana State University Billings’ graduation rate of 28% doesn’t seem all too bad, does it? But in the grand scheme of things and on a list of all of the schools in the nation, it’s still pretty lousy.
Students will graduate with an average debt of over $22,000 and make a salary of less than $35,000 more than six years after entry. It’s probably best to keep searching for a better school.
Baker College
Location: Flint, Michigan
Baker College in Flint, Michigan is in the midst of shutting down, themselves. By August of 2020, the Flint Township campus will close – although they’re just consolidating and moving to Owosso. It’s no secret that the people living in Flint have dealt with their fair share of (serious) problems over the past several years, which continues to this day.
Aside from the obvious issues, local grads are dealing with more than $22,000 in debt and struggling to pay it, thanks to an average salary of just over $27,000.
Eckerd College
Location: St. Petersburg, Florida Although they’re located in a gorgeous area, this is another school that has a ROI that’s just plain bad.
Why would anyone want to spend $44, 540 per year to make $42,200 in their future? If you’re considering Eckerd, you may want to rethink your options.
Stillman College
Location: Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Stillman College’s graduate rate is an embarrassing 11% - one of the lowest rates on the entire list.
Plus, those who do make it through the end of their programs are still looking at a -$80,000 return on their investment.
Jones College
Location: Ellisville, Mississippi Tuition may be extremely affordable at this community college in Mississippi, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to attend. Jones is on FIRE’s top ten list for the worst schools for free speech in the country.
One of the lawyers for the organization even called them the “worst of the worst.” Steer very clear of this school, unless of course, you don’t really care about your first amendment rights.
