Location: Miami, Florida
Florida Memorial University is another one of those schools that could be worse, but also isn’t exactly great. They have a nice-looking campus in the Sunshine State, but there are still a few problems with this school, including a low graduation rate which is just 38%.
The median salary – just over $36,500 – also doesn’t fair very well against the high tuition, which is nearly $23,000 each year.
Lewis & Clark College
Location: Portland, Oregon The ROI at Lewis & Clark is actually worse than Skidmore’s by just a bit.
A yearly investment of around $51,000 will get you $46, 200 back annually once you’ve been out of school for ten years.
Shaw University
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina
This private Baptist liberal arts school in Raleigh, NC probably shouldn’t be at the top of your list of choices for places to get a higher education. The graduation rate is just over 25%, which isn’t very promising. And, those who do graduate wind up stuck with over $28,000 in debt.
When you consider the fact that their median salary is only $1,200 more, you can see why Shaw earned their spot amongst the worst colleges in the US.
Mount Holyoke
College Location: South Hadley, Massachusetts This school is another that doesn’t offer its students the best return on their investment.
The average cost to attend is nearly $50,000, but the median salary is only $48,600.
University of Cincinnati
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio If you’re looking to spend a ton of money on tuition with the possibility of not making nearly enough money over the next ten years or so to make a dent in your student loan debt – go for it!
They charge out-of-state students nearly $27,000 per year. Plus, they’re number 18 on Insurify’s list of the top 20 most dangerous college campuses in the U.S.
