First, an exchange student must be formally nominated by their home university to participate in the Babson College International Student Exchange program. Upon receipt of the nomination, the student will be asked to confirm the nomination. Finally, once confirmed, an online application will be opened for the student and all documents and materials will be submitted securely through our application portal. In preparation for completing the application, the student should be prepared to submit the following:

1. Passport copy
2. Proof of proficiency in English. Please note: The U.S. Department of State mandates that we must obtain documentation of English language proficiency for all students studying in the U.S. with a J-1 visa. This applies to students for whom English is the first language and/or students who are attending English-speaking institutions or degree programs. If you are attending an English-speaking institution and/or degree program, your home school coordinator may certify your English proficiency in a signed letter. If you are from a non-English-speaking country you must submit an official test score report consistent with our admission requirements. Please email the Glavin Office with any questions or concerns.
3. Official transcript(s) for all previous university coursework (students will be asked to upload a scanned copy of an original transcript)
