About Babson College

There's a giant globe at the heart of campus, a reminder that ideas here are meant to travel. Babson is known for hands-on business education that blends analytics, leadership, and the liberal arts. Classes lean into projects, real problem solving, and plenty of pitch practice. Students tap makerspaces, collaboration studios, a startup hub, and supportive services that cover advising, tutoring, wellness, and career coaching. The atmosphere is energetic but grounded, with a roll up your sleeves vibe and faculty who expect you to try, build, test, and try again.

Student life runs on clubs, venture challenges, arts nights, and a healthy dose of intramurals and outdoor time. Wellesley offers a calm base with quick routes into Boston for internships, networking, and culture. The college has a reputation for strong alumni ties, frequent mentor check ins, and recruiter connections that start early. Traditions circle that globe and informal pitch days pop up when the weather cooperates. Notable alum: Arthur Blank, cofounder of The Home Depot.
