Babson College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Babson College?

Babson is a high-cost private college, but its published price and an individual student's final price can differ substantially. In the 2024-25 institutional reporting, full-time undergraduate tuition was $57,152 for both Massachusetts residents and students from other states; Babson did not report a separate required-fee charge in that tuition measure.

Other reported annual charges include $22,346 for room and board and an estimated $1,300 for books and supplies. Those figures illustrate major expenses but should not be combined with tuition figures from a different reporting year and presented as a current official cost of attendance. Transportation, personal expenses, and individual housing choices also affect the budget. Babson's current financial aid cost-of-attendance schedule is the appropriate starting point for a year-specific estimate.

Financial aid changes the calculation. Reported average grant aid to undergraduate recipients was $45,847, but an average award is not what every applicant receives. Income-group net-price figures varied widely: the reported average was $17,077 for families earning up to $48,000 and $80,192 for families earning above $110,000. Net price reflects the measured students' costs after grant and scholarship aid, not a guaranteed quote for a household with that income.

Eligible students may be considered for federal and state grants, Babson institutional aid, scholarships, and federal loans. Applicants should complete the financial aid forms Babson requires for their applicant category, observe its aid deadlines, and compare an actual offer's grants, loans, work expectations, and remaining family contribution. Military education benefits may also apply to eligible students, subject to the benefit program's rules.

What are the work-study opportunities at Babson College?

Babson offers student employment and career-development support, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that allows eligible students to earn wages through approved work; receiving an award generally does not mean a job has been assigned or that the full award will be paid automatically. Other campus positions may be open to students without Work-Study eligibility.

Students seeking paid work should check Babson's student-employment postings and financial aid information for eligibility, hiring steps, and limits on hours or earnings. They should also consider how a work schedule fits classes and transportation. An internship may offer career experience but is not required of every Babson student and may follow different academic and pay rules.

Babson's career services include individual and group counseling, résumé and interview preparation, employer recruiting, job-search resources, career events, and alumni networking. These services can help students explore fields and prepare applications; they are not evidence that a particular student will obtain a job offer. Students interested in a specific industry should examine the employers and opportunities relevant to that field, rather than rely on a college-wide outcome claim.
