St. Andrews University – Laurinburg, North Carolina
For four years, St. Andrews University costs $167,000 USD. That’s a lot of money, but the student-to-faculty ratio is 12 to one. Laurinburg, North Carolina, is a charming town that appears to be ideal for higher education. Regardless, don’t expect to walk out of this school earning millions of dollars. The return on investment after 20 years is -$98,800. On the good side, they’ve been offering Master’s degrees in business administration since 2013, so perhaps some of these grads will partially redeem the school.
Stillman College – Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Stillman College, located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a small school with just 615 students who seek an intimate atmosphere in a community dominated by the University of Alabama. Students can enjoy the best of both worlds by attending UA parties for a big-school experience. With a four-year tuition of $98,700 and a graduation rate of only 23%, you’re likely to pay well over six figures, but the 20-year return on investment is -$80,400.
