Supporting Your Undergraduate Job Search from Day One

The Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development (CCD) at Babson is here to support the undergraduate job search for all of our students.

Our undergraduate curriculum, steeped in the idea of entrepreneurial leadership, gives you a running start on your career journey, and CCD’s tools and resources accelerate this even further to prepare you professionally from day one.

The class I talked about in every interview is The Ultimate Entrepreneurship Challenge. Every week, we were given problems to solve from real businesses and were expected to present creative, out-of-the-box ideas. Being in a job where innovation is encouraged, I now feel comfortable coming up with ideas and presenting them.

A Dynamic Academic Experience

The Babson curriculum isn’t just business as usual. We want you to feel prepared to tackle whatever problems may arise in your career.

In their first year, our students learn from the experience of working as a team to get a startup off the ground and later use that knowledge and perspective to offer solutions to real companies. They graduate with competencies in teamwork, critical thinking, and global fluencies—all top skills sought by employers.
Wendy Murphy,
Associate dean of the undergraduate school at Babson

We offer courses at all levels that will introduce you to real-life problems and help you gain the skills and mindset necessary to solve them. Our academic experience is designed so you gain foundational knowledge and countless hours of practice through experiential learning and mentorship from alumni and faculty.

I highly recommend the Babson College Fund … a (yearlong) hands-on equity research class where students manage over $5 million. I was able to use skills such as model building, pitching, and financial analysis for my current role where I help with investing decisions for client accounts.
