Is Babson College a good school? What makes a “good” school is relatively subjective; what’s good for one student may not be good for another. Rankings do, however, offer some guidance. For example, if you’re looking for value, Babson routinely ranks #1 for salary potential and return on investment.
In 2022, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) ranked Babson #9 for ROI 40 years after enrollment with alumni having a net present value of $2,242,000.
Babson is the #2 ranked school in all of New England for value, beating out the likes of Harvard and MIT, and #13 across the entire U.S. (Money magazine, 2022).
Babson is ranked among the top 100 most selective colleges in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report).
Forbes also ranked Babson among the top 50 best performers on its new College Financial Grades list (Forbes, 2022).
Babson is ranked 6th overall for mid-career pay and is only behind Princeton, MIT, the U.S. Naval Academy, Harvey Mudd, and Stanford. (Payscale, 2023)
