Knowing and understanding everything you possibly can about business isn't enough, at least not for a Babson graduate. In talking with business leaders, we found that they considered certain abilities vital for the success of their employees. We have incorporated these abilities, we call them the learning goals, into our curriculum and as you progress through the Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, you will also continually refine these skills. Rhetoric - You will formulate, explore, reflect, analyze and communicate critically and effectively
Quantitative Analysis - You will think logically; reason quantitatively; develop and modify models inductively; utilize technology to access, synthesize, and analyze data; and communicate your conclusions accurately and effectively.
Entrepreneurial and Creative Thinking - You will identify, assess and shape opportunities in a variety of contexts. You will use creative and innovative approaches to develop and act on opportunities to create value for stakeholders and society.

Ethics and Social Responsibility - You will be prepared and willing to be responsible members of society and will be committed to continually developing intellectual, ethical, social, and professional character and abilities
Leadership and Teamwork - You will be adept at leading and functioning effectively in teams
Critical and Integrative Thinking - Although you will be exceptionally competent in your chosen field, you will understand the limiting nature of the artificial barriers between disciplines and utilize an integrated, holistic approach to learning and decision making.
