New England Law-Boston

What are the graduation rates for students at New England Law-Boston?

The familiar four- and six-year undergraduate graduation-rate measures are not useful descriptions of New England Law | Boston's J.D. students. Those measures track particular cohorts entering bachelor's-degree programs, while this school enrolls students for graduate professional education.

For a more relevant picture, prospective J.D. students can examine the school's ABA-required disclosures on first-year and other attrition, degrees awarded, bar passage, and graduate employment. Each measure answers a different question: leaving a program is not the same as failing a bar examination, and graduating does not establish that someone entered legal practice. Compare figures from the same reporting year and pay attention to the population and time period attached to each measure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New England Law-Boston?

A single, reliable one-year-after-graduation earnings figure is not a sound basis for judging New England Law | Boston's J.D. outcomes. Pay can differ substantially by employer, practice area, location, hours worked, and whether a graduate holds a job requiring bar admission.

The school's ABA employment disclosures offer a more specific starting point for evaluating legal career outcomes. They classify graduates' employment at a defined point after graduation, but employment counts are not salary figures. Applicants comparing potential earnings with borrowing should look for clearly defined salary information, note how many graduates reported pay, and account for tuition debt, bar-preparation expenses, and the possibility that an initial job may be outside legal practice.
