Bay Path University occupies suburban Longmeadow, MA — a private campus quieter than a downtown one, closer to one than a rural seat. Bay Path University enrolls women only — one of the few remaining single-sex campuses in the country.
Its highest-earning path is Business Administration, Management and Operations, where graduates median $74,912 four years out. Faculty pay averages $110,424 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself. Most of its 1,108 undergraduates commute — campus empties by evening — yet 72.8% of first-years return, which says something about what daytime here is worth.
What that means for you depends on the numbers — which is what the rest of this page is for.
