In "The Hidden Ivies: Thirty Colleges of Excellence," Bates is lauded for its service-learning opportunities and its consistent ranking in the top 10 among all colleges in terms of student participation in international study. It notes that some two-thirds of Bates graduates earn graduate degrees, and includes this summary comment from an administrator on alumni survey findings: "For a college with a long-standing reputation in the sciences, we were surprised to discover we had more graduates whose title was 'entrepreneur,' having founded their own businesses, than graduates who were M.D.'s."
