Newswise — The F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College has announced the official launch of The Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP) — the world’s first global master degree program provided by three leading institutions in Entrepreneurship. Babson GEP students recently began the program’s fall semester in France.
GEP grants a Master of Science in Management degree with a concentration in Global Entrepreneurship, earned in just 12 months on three continents in partnership with EMLYON Business School (France) and Zhejiang University’s School of Management (China).
Combining the world’s best entrepreneurial teaching with three diverse global markets, GEP prepares students to recognize and define the changes critical to growing businesses in a competitive marketplace.
The program places great emphasis on the interaction of the theoretical and practical aspects of entrepreneurial management in a global environment. Students focus on the entrepreneurial process and practice action-oriented tools in different business and economic contexts.
A mixture of case studies, lectures, coaching sessions, group projects, and cultural events ensure a rigorous and complete learning experience. GEP is fully taught in English.
GEP students also work on a semester-long consulting project for a local company with students from other countries, reinforcing teamwork on a global level.
They earn a Master of Science in Management, with a concentration in Global Entrepreneurship from the school where enrolled.
“GEP aligns perfectly with the Babson mission to bring Entrepreneurial thought and action to the world,” says Babson’s Graduate School Dean Raghu Tadepalli, “Targeted toward recent business school undergraduates, GEP begins this transformation—shaping some of the world’s best business students into entrepreneurial-minded leaders ready to address global business, environmental, and social issues.”
GEP is a 12-month program (September 2009 through August 2010). The first semester is delivered in France the fall of 2009, then China in the spring of 2010, ending at Babson, summer 2010.
