One-Year MBA - Program Overview
Prerequisite Courses
The One-Year program is designed for students with a substantial business
academic background and students are expected to draw quickly from their

reviews transcripts, checking for the following prerequisite courses or their

The Summer Semester
The Summer Semester is an intensive, 12-week experience that features two of Babson's
curricular modules. Modules are carefully channeled combinations of academic "streams"
that flow together to define and shape a larger topic. Each succeeding module builds
on those that came before. The Summer Program modules focus on the strategic implications
of major competitive factors in a changing world economy. In addition, speech and writing
consultants will help you develop techniques to improve your communication skills. And
you will work closely with the Babson MBA Center for Career Development to define your
career goals and help you with job search techniques.
