At Babson, we believe that providing our students with a global perspective is an essential part of their education. We provide and encourage opportunities for international study and also incorporate a global perspective into our classroom discussions. With nearly 20% of our undergraduate population being international, it is impossible not to.

Through our international study experiences and the Babson community culture, students gain a better perspective on world affairs and greater knowledge of international business practices. At the same time, they build an international network for their professional lives, develop cross-cultural communication skills, and become more flexible and adaptable to new circumstances. Our students are well equipped to excel in the global marketplace.

“Own what you can always carry with you; know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your bag." - A. Solzhenitsyn
