Babson College

What are the graduation rates for students at Babson College?

Babson's reported graduation rate is 84% within four years and 93% within six years. These measures follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they are not completion rates for every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 95%, indicating that most students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures are useful for comparing outcomes, but they do not explain why an individual student leaves or how long a transfer student will need to finish. A prospective transfer should use a personal credit evaluation, rather than the first-time-student graduation rate, to plan a completion timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Babson College?

College Scorecard field-of-study data reports a one-year-after-completion earnings figure of $61,039 for Babson's Business Administration, Management and Operations field. The figure is a reported outcome for the population captured by that federal measure, not a starting salary promised to every graduate or a measure of all Babson alumni.

Federal field-of-study earnings measures depend on the graduates whose records can be matched and reported. They may omit people outside the measured population and do not account for individual differences in job, location, further education, or hours worked. Applicants comparing colleges should consider earnings alongside the price they would personally pay, borrowing, graduation outcomes, and the kinds of work they hope to pursue.
