Colorado is known for its breathtaking mountains, thriving outdoor industry, and a bustling economy. It is also the home to over 60 colleges, universities, and technical schools for prospective students of all career interests.

You'll find top-notch schools, decent schools, and then possibly not-so-great options here too. For Colorado that school of high education would be Nazarene Bible College.

According to the website www.Education.Alot.com, who have compiled a list of the worst colleges and universities in each of the 50 states, Nazarene Bible College has been named the worst in the Centennial State.

With an average of just 16.4% of students graduating, it's not hard to see how this institution might have earned such a reputation.

Originally established in 1964, Nazarene Bible College was once a physical campus in Colorado Springs. However, it seems that even its location couldn't save it from declining enrollment and financial struggles. In 2017, the college made the decision to close its campus and move to a strictly online format.

Aside from a lackluster graduation rate, Nazarene Bible College also has some of the highest tuition costs in the state.

Students walk away with a reported average of $42,340 in student loans, a significant amount for a school with such a low success rate. And the average salary for graduates after six years is just $29,700, below the state average.

The college offers mostly evening classes, catering to the schedules of part-time students. While some may find this convenient, according to www.Education.Alot.com, it's clear that the lack of full-time students also contributes to the low graduation rate and overall success of the institution.
