Miles College – Fairfield, Alabama

Despite Charles Barkley’s $1 million donation to the school in January 2020, the most ever given to the school, the 1,500 pupils studying there should not expect the brightest prospects. According to PayScale, one of the worst returns on investment may be predicted after attending Miles College in Fairfield, Alabama. A four-year degree costs $90,200, but just 17% of students complete it in four years. You might expect a -$164,600 return on investment 20 years after graduation.

University of Montevallo – Montevallo, Alabama

Montevallo, Alabama, is home to a university that bears the same name as the city. It is a public liberal arts school that is ranked high on the list of public schools in the state by US News & World Report. The campus is stunning, with antebellum architecture. There’s even a yearly Life Raft Debate, in which each professor must justify why their skill set is more valuable than that of their colleagues. The high college tuition of $143,000 after four years does not assist the -$64,100 20-year return on investment.
