“Overall, I believe that the MCFE experience was amazing. This MCFE project taught me many valuable lessons pertaining to my project organization, personal work style and group interaction. The client offered a unique insight directly into the lifestyle and mindset of a young entrepreneur. At Babson, every member of our group learned different types of models to use in order to analyze a strategy, an industry, a marketing plan, a financial plan, etc. The application of all of these different models was amazing within our MCFE group. I learned a lot about business and entrepreneurship, but I learned even more about myself. “

“My role as a Project Manager has been an excellent experience overall. One of the important learning experiences was managing the team dynamics. I learned how people work hard when they are motivated. The value of coaching and mentoring to make others better in what and how they do things will be useful and shareable in any life situations.”

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Shekhar Shah '01
"My MCFE experience was definitely a rewarding one. Unlike traditional classes, the MCFE program allowed my team and I to complete a real-life project from start to finish. The project brought together a variety of business concepts that I have learned in my past classes, and encouraged me to apply them in a real-world situation. The most rewarding experiences were the periodic client interaction, and the data gathering and research. The client interaction has taught me how to present my work and myself to other professionals. Data gathering was a vital part of the project as well, that required long hours and persistence on the team's part. I addition, the MCFE project has taught me the importance of accurate and concise data. The MCFE experience has been a pleasant highlight during my years at Babson, and without doubt, will prove to be a valuable asset in my pursuit of a successful future."
