Thirty percent of colleges are not worth the cost, researchers conclude

A new report from Georgetown University researchers concluded that while most colleges have a positive return on investment after 10 years, some do not.

The Manhattan School of Music, Beacon College and Berklee College of Music, for example, still have a negative Net Present Value after more than 10 years post-graduation, according to the Center on Education and the Workforce.

Its partially funded with money from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and is led by Professor Anthony Carnevale.
