You’ve done your research on Babson graduate programs, attended admissions events, and connected with the graduate admissions team. Now, you’re ready to review the admissions requirements for your program of interest.
We’re excited you’re considering Babson, just outside of historic Boston. Please visit the International Students page for additional instructions before completing your application, including details about TOEFL/IELTS requirements.
Due to constraints brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue our test-optional policy for the GMAT/GRE for all graduate applicants with a 2024 program entry. That said, you are welcome to submit a test score, and we’ll be happy to consider it as part of your application review.
Please note that quantitative and academic readiness is a large component of any graduate business program, and applicants who have minimal quantitative experience may want to submit a test score to help showcase their quantitative aptitude.
