International Requirement

The International Requirement is required for fulltime MBA students who entered in Fall 2018 or earlier. Two-Year and One-Year MBA students are required to develop a global business perspective through first- hand international experience. Two-Year and One-Year students must fulfill the Foundation MBA International Requirement before graduation by participating in one of the following learning activities: Babson’s project- based experiential learning courses or internships providing cross-cultural workplace immersion, the Babson Electives Abroad, the Semester Abroad Program, or by completing an international independent research project that has been approved by the Office of Graduate Academic Services. Two- Year and One-Year students with substantial international experience may be able to waive the International Requirement at the foundation level; such exemptions are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Office of Graduate Academic Services.
