[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Worst" is such a nebulous term.[/quote]

Yes but degree choices offered very plausible criteria 
Very low graduation rates 
Very Low income later down the road  
Remaining in debt most of lives despite receiving little gains from the education [/quote]

This criteria actually makes sense to me why HBCU are more likely to be on the list.  They have a higher percentage of black students.  
Very low graduation rates: Black students are more likely to come from lower income families and have to drop out due to financial pressures.  They are also more likely to be first generation college students, which has been extensively tied to lower graduation rates. 
Very low income later down the road: Black graduates are more likely to face discrimination in salaries that can compound over years. 
Remaining in debt: This is very likely to be tied to family income, which is lower for black families.  It's a lot easier to get out of college debt when you come from a higher income family, especially if you find yourself having to help out family members financially.  [/quote]
