At the core of the philosophy for the new curriculum is the formation of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that every Babson graduate should possess. All first-year students participate in the Foundation Management Experience, a yearlong program in which students establish and run an actual business funded by the College. Profits from the business support a charitable project, which the students coordinate. The Intermediate Management Core is designed to help the student develop, in an integrated way, the logic of managerial decision making. Focused on entrepreneurial leadership in a changing global environment, the first year of the dramatically revised Two-Year MBA provides an integrated, modular approach that follows the life cycle of a business.
All students complete a cross-cultural requirement and work with a mentor company.
A new graduate building, F.W. Olin Hall, opened in the fall of 1996. The Global Management Program places graduate students in structured field projects with senior managers of corporations around the globe. Since 1979, this program has matched more than 500 MBA student consultants with more than 200 companies operating in 35 countries on five continents.
