Babson College was named one of the Best Value Colleges for 2023 by The Princeton Review, which also ranked Babson in the top 20 private schools for career placement.

Among private schools, Babson was ranked No. 11 for Best Career Placement and No. 39 for Best Value College.

In The Princeton Review’s annual list of the nation’s best value colleges, Babson was selected as one of 209 institutions with the highest return on investment out of more than 650 colleges and universities. The list is based on an analysis of more than 40 data points that broadly cover academics, affordability, and career outcomes of graduates.

The Princeton Review chose the schools—135 of which are private and 74 of which are public— based on data from its surveys of administrators at more than 650 colleges in 2022–2023. Survey topics covered academics, cost, financial aid, career services, graduation rates, student debt, and alumni support. The company also factored in data from its surveys of students attending the colleges and PayScale.com’s surveys of alumni of the schools about their starting and mid-career salaries and job satisfaction.
