Stillman College

Located in the city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Stillman College is an even smaller college than many of the state’s already small institutions, with only 615 enrolled students in the fall of 2018. Stillman College awards the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in 17 disciplines/majors housed within three academic schools and is accredited by The Southern Association for Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

Stillman College has a mere 42% acceptance rate, and an even slimmer 11% graduation rate. And its ROI is smaller, too. Spending four years at Stillman College costs more than $24,000 a year, totalling $98,700. With such low graduation rates, Stillman College offers its graduates an ROI of -$80,400. While the ideas of smaller classrooms and more professor interactions are idealized, they come with a very real and very hefty price tag.
