The Worst Colleges for Bachelor’s Degree Payoff, Ranked

Hussian College-Los Angeles was connected to Hussian’s longer arts-education history, but the Los Angeles campus focused more directly on entertainment and creative industries. It marketed itself around media, performing arts, acting, design, and Hollywood-adjacent career paths in one of the country’s biggest entertainment markets.

With a 10-year average payoff of -$111,000, the early return looked especially weak. Entertainment careers can be unstable, and students may face high costs before finding steady paid work. Since the Los Angeles campus later closed, this number works best as a historical snapshot of that school’s outcomes.
