Format
Fully Online or In Person
Location
Online or New England Innovation Academy (NEIA)

As in years past, students are able to take the full course online. The first hour is in a large virtual classroom, bringing together students from all course sections, followed by two hours where sections split into their professor’s Zoom classroom. Online students are able to meet with their peers afterward to complete group work online.  

The in-person format is hosted by the New England Innovation Academy (NEIA) in Marlborough, Massachusetts, NOT at the Babson College campus in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Students will attend class at NEIA with a Babson professor for the full, three-hour morning session each day, the first hour of which will incorporate Zoom to allow in-person and virtual students to attend the session together. NEIA provides additional cocurricular programming in the afternoon to complement the Babson College course curriculum.

Choose between two in-person options:

  • Residential Student: Students live on NEIA’s campus
  • Day Student: Students participate in the NEIA cocurricular content but do not live on NEIA’s campus; they arrange their own daily transportation and housing
