Babson Information

Babson History

Babson College was founded in 1919 by Roger Babson, whose belief that experience is the best teacher led him to base the school's first curriculum around a combination of classwork and business training. He hired actual entrepreneurs and businessmen to teach rather than traditional professors, and classes were focused on cultivating practical skills rather than lectures. In 1992, Babson’s Graduate School of Business announced a new curriculum that did away with traditional business courses. Instead, graduate students would follow the timeline in the life of a business and learn functional skills when needed to solve a problem. Many of Babson’s historical educational initiatives are still in place today.
