Location: Los Angeles, California This is California State’s second appearance on their list, but this time, it’s for school in L.A. If you’re looking for low cost options, they do have a tuition that winds up costing most students less than $4,000 per year after aid.
Unfortunately, only 41% of those students wind up completing their programs on time.
College of the Atlantic
Location: Bar Harbor, Maine This school has an absolutely stunning campus, located right on the water – but they don’t make it very affordable to have the privilege.
In fact, they charge over $43,000 per year on average, which looks even worse when you consider graduates have a median salary of less than $25,000 ten years after entry.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Location: Eastern New York Rensselaer makes the list for one of the worst schools in America for its blatant restriction of its student’s ability to maintain their right to free speech.
In fact, they consistently find themselves making lists for the top ten worst in the US for exactly that reason.
Everest College
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Everest College, which was headed up by the parent company Corinthian Colleges, shut down most of its campuses in 2016 after their reputation was tarnished by their “worthless” diplomas. Graduates complained of not being able to find jobs and no one taking their credentials seriously.
Everest was bought out and the remaining campuses go by the name Altierus Career College.
Northland College
Location: Ashland, Wisconsin The worst part about Northland is its graduate’s ten-year salary - $37, 400. That’s low no matter which four-year school you graduate from.
And with an annual cost of around $36, 183, it doesn’t seem like a very good investment. Their graduation rate also sits at a low 46%.
