College Rankings & Accolades

The Leader in Entrepreneurial Business Education

To Babson, rankings mean so much more than just numbers. Each is a reminder for the Babson community to continue to innovate and to lead fearlessly. We know the world needs entrepreneurial leaders, and Babson has the methodology and approach to make that happen.

It’s how Babson was named the best college for business majors (Money magazine) as well as the number one ranked college for entrepreneurship for 30 consecutive years (U.S. News & World Report).

The proof is with our students, as they have helped Babson earn the #9 spot on Forbes list of the top 25 colleges for highest-earning graduates.

Babson College learners are different and determined to be entrepreneurial leaders in any given situation. It’s why the College has held the #1 entrepreneurship ranking for both its undergraduate and MBA programs for more than two decades, and why the legacy and spirit of Roger Babson, the institution’s founder, remains strong in our staff, faculty, and students.

The Value of a Babson Education

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. Plus, 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)
