As the recognized leader in entrepreneurship education, Babson College seeks to raise the quality, the content and the process of teaching entrepreneurship through our Symposia for Entrepreneurship Educators’ (SEE) programs. Our flagship program, Price-Babson SEE, is held every spring on our campus.
Cross-disciplinary educators from around the world are invited to attend Price-Babson SEE. The program is designed to build an international cadre of educators who understand the importance of combining entrepreneurship theory and practice in teaching. This is vital to the program and why we require teams – one academic, one entrepreneur – to attend a symposium.
During an intensive four-day period, participants explore the entrepreneurial process, the “art and craft” of teaching and learning entrepreneurship. The program provides an introduction to case method teaching and live, venture-based teaching methodologies. Attendees are encouraged to identify, plan, and personalize their entry (or re-entry) strategy into academia, and to improve as teachers, learners, researchers, colleagues, and entrepreneurs. They identify and explore new content, programs, and materials, and are exposed to the realities of the cyberspace revolution.
According to a participant in the Price-Babson SEE-21 program, "Price-Babson exceeded my very high expectations. It offers a unique opportunity to learn from the very best minds in the field of entrepreneurship and at the same time gain a sense of the passion that these wonderful practioners bring to their work. I can't imagine that anyone who is serious about teaching entrepreneurship would pass up an opportunity to attend." For more testimonials, please click here.
