How Does Babson Prepare Students for the Real World?

From your first year until your final class, you’ll be taking on projects that make real impacts on businesses and communities.
Getting Your Feet (Super) Wet as a First-Year
That idea you’ve had forever? It finally has a home in Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME). Our first-year students work in groups and with faculty members to launch a real business. Our signature class, FME will teach you all aspects of how a business runs.
Tackling Big Issues in Your Second and Third Year
We make sure our students are prepared to tackle the issues of tomorrow, today. A big part of that is learning how people and nature work together and why that matters. From sustainability to urban planning, Socio-Ecological Systems courses will change the way you think about the world.
A Running Start to Graduation and Your Career
Opportunities like Management Consulting Field Experience (MCFE) in your third year and the capstone Scaling Lean Ventures, where you’ll be given a real business problem for you to solve, and let you gain practical industry experience while working with actual companies. You’ll feel like an accomplished professional, ready to tackle anything, by the time we hand you your diploma.
From the Classroom to the Boardroom, You Have Endless Support
The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) at Babson empowers every student from day one to develop pathways to professional success and lifelong learning. And, the goal of our career development services is to make sure you shine.
When you work with CCD, you’re not only connected—you’re prepared to pursue a rewarding career.
