Admissions Process

The admissions process at Babson’s graduate school follows a deadline-driven timetable which means applications are reviewed—and decisions rendered—depending on the date the application was submitted. Late in the application cycle, when rolling admissions begins, the committee will review applications as they are submitted. It is always advantageous for you to submit your application as early as possible. Once all application requirements noted below are received, the application will be ready for review.

  • TOEFL iBT or IELTS test scores
  • Official English translations of all required academic documents

International Applicants to the Fast Track Program

TOEFL iBT or IELTS test scores are not required for applicants to the Fast Track program, but may be recommended on a case-by-case basis. Application materials are reviewed thoroughly for evidence of writing and communication skills, initiative, maturity, and creativity.

Babson College provides student immigration documents for students who are enrolled in a full-time program. The Fast Track program is considered to be a part-time program. International applicants who are currently in nonimmigrant status (H-1B, B-1/B-2, L, TN, etc.), or who are currently outside of the U.S. seeking entry to attend the Fast Track program, are not eligible for F-1 student status. International applicants may be able to attend the Fast Track program in another nonimmigrant status depending on the status and the situation.
