Why Hire Graduates with a Babson Degree?
Babson students enter the workforce empowered to succeed and make an impact from day one.
Babson College Curriculum
Babson’s dynamic and rigorous curriculum, rooted in Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® (ET&A™), blends business classes with the liberal arts and sciences to deliver a one-of-a-kind undergraduate business program.
Our unique experiential and collaborative courses are the hallmark of our business curriculum. Most Babson students complete these dynamic core courses, which are designed to equip them with the skills to create lasting value for organizations, communities, and the world.
Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME)
An award-winning first-year course where students build, launch, and manage a real venture—equipping them with entrepreneurial leadership skills and hands-on experience.
Socio-Ecological Systems
In their second or third year, students explore how people and nature interact through a systems-thinking lens—developing critical insights into sustainability and global challenges that are increasingly relevant in the workplace.
Advanced Experiential
Required in the third or fourth year, these experiential learning courses place students inside real organizations, where they gain direct leadership and problem-solving experience through applied projects with companies and nonprofits.
FME is one of the things that truly separates the Babson learning experience from the rest. Most schools rely on textbooks and case studies, while the FME experience puts theory into practice, exposing you to many aspects of business you can’t learn in a classroom such as team dynamics and real-time decision making.
– Dave Heath ’05, Co-Founder and CEO, Bombas
When I think about my career, I think about two courses: Foundations of Management & Entrepreneurship (FME) and Organizational Behavior. I’ve realized that while the work I do is important, so is how you work with people. That coursework helped me navigate my career and role at American Express. I must translate business needs across teams.
– Sydney Logan ’21 Marketing Transformation, American Express
