Morris College

Much like Benedict College, Morris College is a historically black college located in Sumter, South Carolina. Morris College was founded in 1908 by James J. Durham, initially as a grade school, high school, and college. The college is named after the Reverend Frank Morris because of his outstanding leadership throughout the African American community of South Carolina. Today, Morris College now offers degrees in 20 areas of study.

While the tuition at Morris College is lower than some comparable colleges—just $23,000 a year—it still has a low graduation rate of 31%. But that 31% of students will be spending the next 20 years trying to dig their way out of financial debt, and they won’t have much success; the projected ROI at Morris College is -$106,800.
