The Babson College Blended Learning MBA program offers the opportunity for students to attend classes both on campus and online. One student says, “I really enjoyed the Blended Format.

Likewise, students praise the "well-rounded" curriculum with "many elective courses" all "structured into 8-week semesters [which] makes it easy to focus on one course at a time while working full-time." The "tremendously helpful" yet "challenging" professors are also "very accessible."
