Claflin University – Orangeburg, South Carolina
This is one of the oldest universities in the country. It is a historically black university that made history for conferring degrees to Alice Jackson Moorer and Annie Thorne. They are among the first black women to earn a degree in the United States! Sadly, the school has not been doing well in terms of post-graduate success. Claflin University only has a graduation rate of 56 percent, which is dismal since students pay $128,000 in tuition costs. The return on investment is only $133,900 over twenty years too.

Wheelock College – Boston, Massachusetts
Lucky Wheelock founded this school as Miss Wheelock’s Kindergarten Training School. It was renamed Wheelock College after it merged with the School of Education at Boston University. Its focus is on all levels of education, so it is easy to assume that the school would be easy on the finances of its student body. This is not the case as tuition here goes all the way up to $201,000 for four years of education. It is pretty shocking to hear that the return on investment over twenty years is only $140,700. Yikes.
