Emory & Henry College

Emory & Henry University, in Emory, Virginia, not to be confused with Emory University in Georgia, costs students about $179,000 for a four year degree. The school’s graduation rate is 54%, which is not great compared with Emory’s 91% rate. Not to mention Emory & Henry’s 20 year ROI is -$91,300, which is miserable compared with Emory’s $452,000 ROI.

You might think that Saint Augustine’s University is in Saint Augustine, Florida, it’s actually in Raleigh, North Carolina. While it has a lovely campus, unfortunately the university’s graduation rate is at a very low 24%. A four year degree here costs about $129,000, but a 20 year ROI of -$77,700 certainly doesn’t justify that price.
