To prepare students to safely transition home, Babson will shift all Fall 2020 classes (Undergraduate and Graduate, including at our Boston and Miami campuses) online as of Friday, November 13.
We have modified the undergraduate academic calendar to limit our community’s collective exposure to COVID-19 while providing a full semester of instruction.
The Graduate School (for those taking classes out of Babson’s Wellesley or Boston campuses) will start classes Tuesday, January 19. Classes will be fully online during the first week of the semester. Hybrid classes begin Monday, January 25. Graduate classes, including final exams, end on Monday, April 26. Please note that classes at the Miami campus end on Sunday, May 2.
Hybrid classes blend face-to-face instruction with technology to accommodate our de-densification needs, and include teaching techniques such as split attendance, small groups, and blended learning.

Fully online classes provide engaging and dynamic delivery of content completely online.
In spring 2020, faculty and students undertook a herculean task of shifting 650 in-person classes online during spring break. This emergency remote teaching scenario helped us understand both what worked well and where there was room for improvement.
Babson gathered valuable feedback from faculty and students and used that input to shape an intensive online teaching program for faculty, and online learning support for students. A multimillion-dollar investment has been made in faculty development, hardware, and software that will elevate the learning experience.
