Why is Babson a top business school for international students? In an increasingly global business world, we at Babson believe it’s important to have a student population that reflects international diversity. Our international students come to Babson from around the world and make up about one-fourth of the undergraduate class. They are an integral part of the Babson community.

Global entrepreneurship is in everything we do. Babson College undergraduate programs focus on the business fundamentals mixed with the liberal arts and sciences. That’s because we want our students to not only have the skills and passion to excel in their professional lives but to have the understanding and curiosity to challenge themselves and potentially change the world in the process.
A Babson degree is your chance to make your dreams come true.
I was searching for colleges that are connected with my passion. Liberia is a country that has a problem with food insecurity, waste management, and many of the other global issues. Babson is a place where I can study environmental sustainability, with a focus on business and entrepreneurship, so that I can solve the problem in my country and worldwide.”
New country, no problem. Students in Babson's international undergraduate program are supported from day one on campus by the entire community, as we want to ensure you have the resources to thrive in your new environment. Support to us means our students are equipped and empowered to seek out the help they need.
The Glavin Office of International Education will be one of your first touchpoints with Babson. The Glavin Office supports our international students as they arrive on campus and our entire student body as they engage in many of our global learning opportunities.
International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS), part of the Glavin Office, is a central resource for you as you adjust to life in the U.S. They can answer questions and help with matters regarding your immigration status, U.S. visa, travel to the U.S., how to obtain U.S. work authorization, and beyond. They provide an overview of the most important information to keep in mind as an international student in the U.S. and collaborate with other offices across campus for programming and events throughout the year.

From seeing their native language on campus to sharing food and traditions with new friends, international students reflect on moments that made a new country begin to feel like home.
Your overall well-being is crucial to your college experience, and we know every student’s adjustment to college and being away from home is different. Your health is a priority for you, your family, and for us. We offer a broad range of services for your physical and mental health and wellness, stress and anxiety, and spirituality.
The best part is we also offer services right on campus, so you don’t have to go far to get the care you need. We offer safe housing, dining options from morning to evening, and accessible facilities so you can study and learn. There are emergency lines for our public safety office, which offers a safe-ride program, and health services, as well as for sexual assault prevention and response services, too.

We have alumni in more than 125 countries in fields from accounting to law, international business, and the creative arts. Of the Class of 2025, 97.8% of them were employed or continuing their education six months after graduation—a direct result of the adaptability of our undergraduate programs, the aptitude of our students, and the career resources Babson provides.
We want you to be part of that percentage.
Babson is the best business school in the country for entrepreneurship (U.S. News & World Report, 30 consecutive times) and ranked the #2 best college in the United States (The Wall Street Journal, 2026). Our students start their own businesses, go to graduate school, are getting their footing in the corporate world, and even joining their family businesses. The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) is here to guide you through your professional journey as you navigate what interests you. They offer peer advising, career fairs, networking opportunities, workshops, and help editing resumes and preparing for interviews, among other services that are designed so you can take the wheel and run.
I was looking for a school where I could apply what I learn in the classroom directly to my business—a college that would push me academically and reinforce what was happening in real life. At Babson, I can learn the coursework today and apply it to my business tomorrow.”
Life as an undergraduate for international students is not just about going to class. It’s about being part of a community. We have over 100 campus clubs and organizations where you can make friends, play a sport, express your creativity, and build up your confidence and skills (and have tons of fun!).
We encourage our students to pursue student leadership positions outside the classroom, as Babson students thrive in these types of environments. Whether that’s serving as the president of a club, becoming a Resident Assistant (RA) in our residence halls, being a peer advisor for young students, or helping out as an admission ambassador, we have opportunities that directly relate to your goals and interests.
At Babson, we support and celebrate our multicultural community. We also have programs designed to support all students and bring together like-minded students and allies to express their cultural identities and faith through the Office of Belonging and Inclusion. You can email belongingandinclusion@babson.edu for more information.
Our culture and faith-based student-run clubs include:
It’s not just us! Our campus is only 10 miles from Boston—an area of over 4 million people that’s a connection point to other international universities, companies, and a thriving cultural scene. It’s also home to Logan International Airport and a public transit system that can take you all around New England, the United States, and beyond.
