About This School

Cambridge College is a private nonprofit institution located in Boston, Massachusetts with approximately 532 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $31,072 per year. The graduation rate is 11%, and the typical graduate earns $40,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Cambridge College is a private college based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It also operates a regional center in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The numbers here raise real concerns — a 13% graduation rate is extremely low, meaning the vast majority of students who start here don't finish, which is the single most important stat a prospective student should weigh. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $14,917, and the school serves adult learners and working students who may not fit traditional college molds. Worth considering only if you have a very specific reason this institution meets your needs and a clear plan to be among the minority who complete their degree.
