You will cultivate core career skills and a sharp entrepreneurial mindset for overcoming challenges in any organization —all while earning college credits. Classes are 8 am - 11 am Eastern Time.

    Here's your chance to develop your skills as a passionate, self-motivated

    Participants will have the unique opportunity to learn from Babson faculty, who are not only educators but also entrepreneurs and experts in their fields. Babson professors have their finger on the pulse of the industries and opportunities that Babson students care about. Our faculty are dedicated to student success and will go above and beyond what’s expected to support your learning. They will collaborate with you to support your social impact project, ensuring your success in the program, and beyond.

    Learn from Babson Student Mentors: At Babson, we value the role that strong mentors serve in the lives of our students during their college years and beyond. The same is true for Summer Study. Each student will have the opportunity to work closely with Summer Study Academic Mentors. Mentors are Babson graduate and undergraduate students who are demonstrated leaders on campus and beyond. Each will help guide you throughout the program.

    Entrepreneurial Ecosystem: The world needs entrepreneurs now, more than ever before. As jobs and entire industries disrupt and evolve, people at all stages of their lives and careers must think and act like entrepreneurs in order to thrive. 

    Course Schedule

    There will be live and asynchronous academic coursework each day during the 3+ week online course. Live sessions will last approximately 3 hours. In addition, you should prepare to spend up to 5 additional hours each day (25 hours per week) working on out-of-class assignments, both individually and with your team. The added flexibility provided by digital and asynchronous learning platforms—combined with more traditional, synchronous live classes with experienced professors—allows you to learn from peers around the globe.

    Class will take place Monday-Friday, 8–11 a.m. Eastern Time. If you need to figure out what time this is where you live, please go to the World Clock Planner.

    What will my day look like?

    Our online format provides a rich opportunity to engage with peers from around the world. We provide the same quality instruction that you would receive in the classroom, with greater flexibility for you to interact with your team and instructors. Through live class sessions, asynchronous learning, and group meetings with professors, you will work on projects with your peers, completing both team and individual homework assignments. Assignments are spaced throughout the month, and regular check-in meetings with professors and near-peer mentors will help keep you on track. The program is designed to serve our global cohort of students. 

    *Limited partial scholarships are available for high-quality students who demonstrate financial need.
