Summer Study for High School Students

Babson’s Summer Study provides a living/learning laboratory for students to focus on applying and advancing their knowledge in business and entrepreneurship. In this collaborative community, students will gain the tools and experience first-hand how to impact and reshape organizations, industries, and the world. Each program will introduce students to Babson’s way of Entrepreneurial Thought and Action and provide resources and strategies for students to think about company and world issues through their classes, cases, speakers, and scheduled activities.

Students may earn college credit and learn from top-ranked faculty in a challenging and ambitious campus atmosphere. They will differentiate themselves from their peers for college applications and have the opportunity to build their network in meeting with business leaders and industry experts, all while exploring the city of Boston. Here's a breakdown of the programs:

Babson Idea Generation Experience A five week, residential, academic credit bearing experience for the aspiring changemaker who wishes to create innovative, real-world solutions to social, economic, and environmental issues—now. The student must want to develop his/her problem-solving skills and work in a challenging and fun team environment and have a desire to be a social entrepreneur.

Babson Entrepreneur Development Experience  A five week, residential, academic credit bearing experience for the current or aspiring entrepreneur who wants to discover how to fit his/her business idea into the greater world picture through the lense of Entrepreneurial Thought and Action and lessons of idea feasibility and business development.

Babson Service Learning Experience  A one week, nonresidential experience for students who are passionate about social outreach and want to spend their summer experience helping some of the world’s biggest changemakers locally, and, in turn, making a difference now. Students will complete community service hours that count towards their high school graduation requirements and will work with faculty and staff to learn about the projects they are completing and issues they are serving and will develop action plans to complete future community service hours in the most effective and engaging way for the student and his or her community.
