Babson’s undergraduate business school emphasizes learning by doing. At Babson, this begins in your first year through our signature course, Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME), where students will gain a deep understanding of what makes a successful business. All students must take this yearlong experiential course, where they work in teams to generate and pitch their ideas, analyze feasibility, create a launch plan, manage their venture, and track sales and operations. Through the FME experience, students not only learn how to start a business but emerge ready to take on leadership roles in a competitive business environment.
