Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology is a private college in Boston, Massachusetts. It focuses on technology and trades programs and was established in 1908 with funds bequeathed in Benjamin Franklin's will.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 100% freshman retention rate suggests students who start feel supported, but the 47% graduation rate means roughly half don't finish — worth asking hard questions about why. On the financial side, things look reasonable, with median debt of just $9,500 and a net price of $16,172/year, though median earnings of $46,300 a decade out are modest and leave little room for error if plans change. Worth considering if you're focused on a specific technical trade and have a clear plan to finish — but go in with eyes open about completion odds.
