Location: Chambersburg, Pennsylvania Wilson College has been around for 150 years, which may seem like a good thing.
That is until you consider the kind of money the students are spending versus what they’re getting in return -$86,000.
California Baptist University
Location: Riverside, California In California, the SB 1146 bill works to protect students at private universities from discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation.
But CBU actively worked against it and has expelled students simply for being transgendered.
Heritage University
Location: Toppenish, Washington
This private university is located on the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington. It actually has some pretty great things going for it, so it isn’t all bad. It has the best graduation rate out of any school on this list so far at over 84% - which is unfathomably higher than 8%.
It isn’t terribly expensive, but it’s not cheap either, with the average student paying $11,742 per year. The median salary at six years isn’t very good, either, and is currently reported at right around $35,000.
Maryville State University
Location: Maryville, North Dakota
Well, after seeing graduation rates as low as 8%, Maryville State’s 40.6% seems pretty great, actually. But it’s not, so don’t let the comparison between a bad, bad school and a “meh” bad school fool you. Unless you’re okay with meh, in which case you should be prepared to take on around $27,000 in debt and earn a median salary of nearly $40,000.
Although, some median salaries on this list are between $15,000-$20,000 less – so you could definitely do worse than this school in North Dakota.
Mercyhurst University
Location: Erie, Pennsylvania The numbers at Mercyhurst are way off. Just look at their tuition, which adds up to nearly $180,000 for a four-year degree.
That may not seem awful in the long run – until you find out that after graduation, most alumni are making somewhere around $41,000.
