Full-Time MBA Curriculum
Full-time Babson MBA students can choose between earning their degree in one year or two, but both options give students the same make-it-happen mindset and #1-ranked MBA.
Compare the One-Year and Two-Year Experience
The Babson MBA is 45 credits, no matter which path you take. All full-time students earn their first 15 credits through the Core, a collection of courses and real-world learning challenges designed to build a practical business foundation. Use your remaining 30 credits to explore electives in the topics that matter most to you. Build up your résumé with the experiential learning you’ll find woven throughout all of your Babson classes—from a semester-long client consulting project in the Core to meeting with business leaders and startup founders in your electives. Whether you choose one-year or two-year, you will graduate with an expanded network and tangible examples of problems you’ve solved.
