Overview

One of Babson’s fundamental approaches to developing well-rounded managers with practical business experience is the Management Consulting Field Experience (MCFE) program. While similar to the MCFE program, JMCFE takes the consulting experience global through project assignments with international corporate sponsors.  In the JMCFE program, teams are comprised of Babson graduate students and graduate students from a partner institution outside of the United States; however, in some instances, the team may be solely Babson students working directly with an international corporate sponsor.  Projects are conducted during both fall and spring semester over a period of approximately 13-15 weeks.  Each project begins with travel to the partner institution and/or company site—during this period students will begin the engagement process.  At the end of the semester the partner institution’s students/adviser and/or client sponsor will travel to Babson at which time the JMCFE team presents their findings and recommendations to their sponsor company in a written report and an oral presentation.

Past projects have worked with partner institutions and clients in Sweden, Germany, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
