21. Emory & Henry College (Virginia)
Keen not to be confused with Emory University in Georgia (which boasts almost a 100% graduation rate), Emory & Henry College is at slightly more of a disadvantage when considering their prospects after graduation. Payscale estimates the return on investment at a staggering -$91,300.

Most private art schools are fairly expensive, but considering this one is the longest standing one in Southwest Virginia, you’ll be set back over $175,000 over a four-year qualification. Considering the school mascot is a wasp of all creatures, these numbers are sure to leave you feeling stung and sore. Perhaps this gives an indication of the low graduation rate, which only just edges over the 50% mark.
20. Brewton-Parker College (Georgia)
Quiet town student life is appealing to many students around the world, and Georgia offers exactly this. The entire town is a mere 2500 people, with half of those being Brewton-Parker students. A small-town education like this may well set you back in the long run: the estimated return on investment here is -$92,200.

Surprisingly, this type of education could actually come with some sort of reprieve in the years to come. Many artists who got their start at small liberal arts schools have gone on to be successful, wealthy creatives. Problem is, the graduation rate at this school is a dismal 17%, so your odds are all the slimmer if you choose to go down this path at Brewton-Parker.
