South Carolina school makes index of colleges with “high tuition costs and low future earnings.”

You had to read someone else’s report to know this?!?
Benedict has a 4 and 6 year grad rate of 18% and 26% respectively. Of course, it could be worse, Allen University is at 14% and 29%. Compared with USC at 58% and 71% that looks abysmal.
HOWEVER, the national rate is 40% and 53% so they aren’t quite as bad as you’d think. USC Upstate, a “taxpayer funded school”, sits at 24% and 53%. Winthrop, a “state funded school”, has only a 38% and 57%. USC Aiken, another “state funded school”, is well below the national average at 21% and 45%. Coastal ain’t much better at 26% and 46%.
Worst of all? Morris College has a 6% and 25% rate. I guest lectured there one semester years ago, had to cut class short four times due to fights in the library, a “disturbance” in the adjoining lecture hall, a wandering homeless person and a campus lockdown.
Name a university in SC that doesn’t have high tuition costs.
Given that the average cost of a year in college in the US is $35,000 and that a year at USC costs a SC kid about $22-24,000 I’d say most of the public schools in SC don’t have high Tuition. Furman at $68,000, Wofford at $58,000 and PC at $38,000 are all aberrations in SC.
As bad as Benedict is, most students are getting massive amounts of aid and they’re only paying around $16,000.
Notice nearly all on the list are colleges from the Southeast.
These numbers are BEFORE the MAGA extremists passed draconian laws banning abortion and attacking the educational systems in their State’s.
That list will be full of nothing but colleges in the South after another year or two.
