Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship Graduate Intensity Track

Babson College Health, Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship Graduate Intensity Track is designed for students to continue their learning beyond the classroom and gain real-world experience in how to aid in social impact and innovation. Some areas of exploration include healthcare delivery, digital health, medical devices, and drug development in the U.S. and abroad.

Intensity Track Requirements

We encourage you to apply early so the KMH Center team can help guide you through the process. Those interested in applying for this designation should submit an application here. All applications will be reviewed on a weekly basis and students may be contacted for follow-up information.
