Obtaining an MBA is a life-transforming experience. At Babson, we are committed to providing our students with a graduate management education that is unparalleled in terms of our faculty's commitment to teaching; the entrepreneurial design of our curriculum; the close-knit community and teamwork we foster among our students, faculty and staff; and a culture where creativity is valued and integrity is expected. Employers of our graduates say that Babson students usually possess the following attributes:
- Entrepreneurial thinking
- Innovative
- Work from an integrative, big-picture perspective
- Skilled at working in teams
- Global minded
- Ethical
- Results driven
In the Babson admissions process, we seek to identify and enroll students who will bring excellence, who will enhance the diversity of their class, and who will contribute to the Babson community--and, we hope, to the wider world. We welcome your application and invite you to get acquainted with Babson. Visit campus, attend a class, meet with students or professors, call our office--whatever is convenient!
Our ideal candidate will be highly competent and motivated. That includes--but isn't limited to--intellectual ability. We are interested in students with substantial professional experience who demonstrate solid potential for a career in management. Finally, competency and career promise often depend on personal qualities that suggest leadership, maturity, ethical character, goal orientation, and social and civic responsibility. We urge you to view your application, especially the essays, as an opportunity to engage in a dialogue with us that will help our Admissions staff get to know you better.
Over the years, the Babson tradition has developed through our innovative programs. We emphasize entrepreneurship, global management, teamwork, being able to work with the ambiguity that often accompanies business decision-making, and recognizing the creativity inherent in management.
