Babson has excellent professors and a great academic program providing students with a rich business knowledge and exposure to the liberal arts. It's rigorous coursework is challenging, yet beneficial because it prepares students for the working world. Combined with its commitment to teamwork and leadership via class projects and coaching programs, its small size creates an atmosphere where people can get noticed and can make a difference. At Babson, students have a voice and can practice their leadership development through various initiatives on campus.
Access to alumni. Great Professors. Great Location. Amazing program. Known around the world. International reach (I have studied abroard 5 times!)作者: s 时间: 2010-9-2 19:53
The only negative aspect I feel should be strongly changed is the career department in Babson. I think they should have a focus of involving its students from their first year of college into making them strong candidates for jobs.
Quality of business courses taught are extremely high. Professors are also of the best standards, however, there has been a recent increase in the number of Phd professors as compared to earlier where professors were more experienced with entrepreneurship backgrounds and experiences relating to their field of knowledge.
I believe the focus during your first years at Babson on teaching the core business fundamentals to students is unique. From the fundamentals you are able to understand exactly where you fit within business and build off of that. It prepares you for the business world and gives you an understanding of all areas in business, which I think prepares us better than most other schools. I also believe that if you know business is for you, Babson is perfect for you. The workload is intense, and this workload is actually beneficial because I feel like I am ready to continue and prepared to handle the workload of any business job that I get.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-2 19:53
I truly feel my school's business program is a perfect blend of academic integrity, external exposure and social activities. We are always encouraged to work hard and have fun. The admission process is very effective to choose the best suits from the talented pool of candidates and the program makes them skilled and ready for the work life. The opportunities for networking are outstanding.
It stresses team work and presentation along with its strong business curriculum. This makes its students better suited for a job search. Babson also has a very hands on approach to everything it teaches which prepares students for real life situations. For example the first year curriculum allows students to actually participate in a small business. Another example is in their curriculum to teach accounting they integrate methods of teaching and testing in order to prepare students for the CPA exam and in result have a pass rate which is much higher than average in Massachusetts.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-2 19:53
The faculty and administrators truly care about the well-being of its students and the future of the school, the business program, and its students. Babson's business program creates a healthy, competitive environment to push its students to do their best. The program focuses a lot on the real world and preparing its students well for what's to come beyond their education at Babson and creates successful entrepreneurs and employees after they graduate.
The large emphasis on teamwork breeds transferable skills and abilities to the job market. Also, the emphasis on liberal arts classes at Babson College creates new methods of learning which contribute to the entrepreneurial spirit of the school's graduates. The student body itself with its diversity in both opinions and backgrounds also creates a place where all undergraduates can maximize the experiences and education they absorb while attending the college.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-2 19:53
Another thing that many people do not talk about Babson is the amount of work given by the professors is exhaustive, for lack of better words. Every single class challenges each student to give your best and as much as I hate it when there, I feel that much better once I go home during breaks and talk to my friends. I feel greatly prepared for job interviews and just the attitude of students is great because there is so much competition that once I get to a corporation, should I choose that route, I will be able to handle some of the dynamics that unique to each company.
The professors are very focused on preparing their students for their careers. The emphasis on group work and availability to answer questions and provide guidance outside of class are outstanding.作者: s 时间: 2010-9-2 19:54
,br> The entrepreneurial environment that Babson creates is felt not just through the Entrepreneurship program, but throughout the school. It is in the way that all of the students think. We are taught to question the status quo, seek opportunities, and develop options in whatever class we may be sitting in. At Babson, entrepreneurship is a mindset and a way of life, not just one of the classes that is being taught.
