Discover What Babson Has to Offer
Learn Business by Doing Business
Babson’s undergraduate business school emphasizes learning by doing through our experiential learning opportunities. At Babson, our undergraduate business program begins in your first year with our signature course, Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (FME), where students will gain a deep understanding of what makes a successful business. All students must take this yearlong experiential course, where they work in teams to generate and pitch their ideas, analyze feasibility, create a launch plan, manage their venture, and track sales and operations. Through the FME experience, students not only learn how to start a business but emerge ready to take on leadership roles in a competitive business environment.
