Location: Honolulu, Hawaii
It may seem like an absolute dream to go to college in Hawaii. After all, many Hawaiian college campuses are near the most beautiful scenery you’ll ever see in your life. Chaminade University isn’t one of the worst ones on this list by far, but they aren’t very good, either – especially if the price is a factor.
The school has tuition that’s higher than average, and students usually wind up with around $26,000 in debt. That may not be horrible, but six years after entry, the salary for a Chaminade grad averages less than $39,000. One thing they’ve got going for them is the low default rate, which is just over 5.5%.
Bacone College
Location: Muskogee, Oklahoma
This school, which was formerly known as Bacone Indian College, has a crazy low graduation rate, with just around 15% of students completing their program. And, those who do complete it have an average salary of less than $35,000 to look forward to, and that’s six years later.
To top it off, the college serves nearly 960 students and accepts 50% of those who apply.
Hendrix College
Location: Conway, Arkansas
This private liberal arts college in Arkansas costs $45,690 per year to attend, but students only make an average of $39,700 after graduation – and that’s ten years after entry.
So you can imagine the kind of debt they’re dealing with.
Keiser University
Location: Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Keiser University in Ft. Lauderdale isn’t a terrible school, but it’s definitely not among the best in the country, either.
In fact, it’s ranked at #272 – so there are at least 271 better schools for you to choose from. Plus, tuition is pretty expensive, at around $18,000.
Wesleyan University
Location: Middletown, Connecticut
Wesleyan University has a wonderful graduation rate of 93%, but they’ve made the list because of their less-than-desirable return on investment.
That’s because they charge nearly $55,000 per year – which is about the median salary of Wesleyan grads 10 years after entry.
