Entrepreneurship best education: Babson college?

PERSONAL STORY from Jfayel

For young entrepreneurs, Babson college could be a good way to test your capacities about entrepreneurship, but nothing can bypass learning by true doing... Entrepreneurship has of course little to do with academics... Babson could be also today the best place not to loose one's time and money in a graduate program... XXI century will be for entrepreneurs only... I have recommended Babson college to some young people. To get some feedback from a personal contact with a recent alumni I trust, just ask me >>> JF Ayel at http://xmpe.diwiki.net/index.php/User:Jfayel

HISTORY

Babson College was founded by Roger Babson on September 3, 1919, as the Babson Institute. It was renamed "Babson College" in 1969. Believing experience to be the best teacher, Roger Babson favored a curriculum that was a combination of both class work and business training: businessmen made up the majority of the faculty instead of academics, and the institute's curriculum focused more on practical experience and less on lectures. Students worked on group projects and class presentations, observed manufacturing processes during field trips to area factories and businesses, met with managers and executives, and viewed industrial films on Saturday mornings.

Babson's athletic nickname is the "Beavers" and its colors are green and white.
