Utah — Dixie State University
Average net price per year: $14,458
Median earnings six years after graduation: $35,400
Dixie State University is the home of the Trailblazers, but this school isn’t exactly blazing ahead of its peers. Tuition and expected earnings are both about normal. Meanwhile, the graduation rate is only 35%, and a slightly above average percentage of DSU students are defaulting on their student loans. “The school has gained a bit of a reputation for not preparing students for higher-level classes, and for their careers for that matter,” an alumnus says in a review. “It does have to be cheap going for it, though.”
