Babson Electives Abroad and Away are short-term courses that combine classroom instruction on the Babson campus with company site visits, cultural excursions, and hands-on experiences abroad or away. Led by Babson faculty, these courses also include on-site lectures given by partner school faculty and distinguished guest speakers. The academic content for these courses is diverse and specialized, ranging from corporate social responsibility in Thailand/Malaysia to consulting with startup businesses in Spain. These elective courses are offered to students during academic breaks in January, March, and May.
The Glavin Office of International Education has approved a set of guidelines and policies to assist and support the following short-term programs: Electives Abroad, Electives Away, and International Consulting Experience.
