On Babson's Approach to Teaching "I think the way Babson approaches education makes you the most prepared for the real world. While working, you have to go and find the lessons you need and experiment with different solutions. Babson’s educational approach fosters creativity in problem solving and I believe employers see this benefit as soon as they hire a Babson student. We bring a different approach to our work."
On Global Perspectives "I studied abroad twice in my Babson career and it taught me that the rest of the world was ready to compete. It game me an understanding that incorporating other cultures and leveraging globalization are crucial to being successful. The world is too small to not have a global perspective and have it be an integral part of every class you take."
On Faculty "Babson faculty truly take an interest in their students' lives and make themselves readily available. What I appreciate most is that they are here first and foremost to teach and make that their top priority, not their research. Also, the amount of real-world experience the professors have is incredible. Listening to their stories from industry is just as informative, if not more, as the lessons from the textbooks."
On the Babson Community "I was surprised by how accessible faculty and staff are. You hear horror stories from people at other schools about having to change a class or find a professor. At Babson, you can easily stop by the Dean's Office to talk through an issue or sit down to talk with a professor getting coffee in the morning. It is also a community where you are given the opportunity to create any organization you want and to create any change you believe is needed. The school is all about giving you the opportunity to find your own place to feel comfortable." | Undergraduate Admission |
