International Student Requirements

Full time enrollment: International students in F-1 or J-1 immigration status are required to be enrolled full time as defined by the College in order to maintain their lawful immigration status. Fulltime enrollment at Babson consists of at least 12 credits per semester for the One Year MBA, Two Year MBA, Blended Learning Miami MBA, and MSEL programs; and 9 credits for the MSF, MSBA, and CAM programs. Students can be under the full-time enrollment during their final semester. 

Change of address: International students in F-1/J-1 immigration status are required to update their U.S. residential address with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security within 10 days of any change. This can be done through the Immigration Address Reporting Form at www.babson.edu/changeofaddress

Employment Authorization: International students in F-1/J-1 immigration status must get authorization prior to engaging in employment in the U.S. Specific work authorization (typically in the form of Curricular Practical Training [CPT] for F-1 status or Academic Training [AT] for J-1 status) is required before engaging in most internships (even if the position is unpaid).
