The Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership

In times of uncertainty, entrepreneurial leaders know how to make an impact, take action, and innovate. Babson’s Master’s in Advanced Entrepreneurial Leadership is a 100% online master’s degree in leadership. This collaborative and experiential program empowers learners to mobilize others and drive organizational growth.

The Blank School is home to Babson’s entrepreneurial centers and institutes, where learners gain real-life experience to put into practice what they learn in the classroom. 

• The Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship
• Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership
• The Lewis Institute for Social Innovation
• Institute for Family Entrepreneurship

The centerpiece of the new Blank School ecosystem—virtually and in person—is the Entrepreneurial Leadership Village (ELV). An innovative living and learning facility, the ELV brings the entire Babson community together to create solutions and growth opportunities through collaborative learning and experimentation. In addition, we're designing and piloting virtual aspects of the ELV to extend its reach around the world.

Plans are underway to create a dedicated space for the ELV on campus. As the hub for entrepreneurial activity at Babson, the ELV will feature an array of co-working, team collaboration, teaching/instructional, and student development spaces.

This summer, The Blank School awarded its first certificate, “Entrepreneurial Leadership in the Social Sector," delivered virtually as a result of the pandemic.

The program, typically held on location at the West Creek Ranch, uses entrepreneurial leadership principles to develop real-world solutions to important social issues. The shifting global circumstances present new problems to be solved, and the program provides opportunities to impact the most pressing current concerns.
