Worth considering if you're serious about engineering, technology, or design and want hands-on training in Boston — graduates earn a solid median of $67,300 ten years out, and the $18,500 median debt at graduation is quite manageable relative to that payoff. The 85% acceptance rate means admission is accessible, but the 69% graduation rate is a real flag — roughly 3 in 10 students don't finish, so ask yourself honestly whether the program structure and cost fit your situation before committing.
