“Babson’s Fast Track MBA program was excellent. My class was filled with people with many years of experience in various business settings which ensured thought-provoking discussion both in class and online. The flexibility and structure of the program meant I did not have to take a break from my position while completing the program. The face-to-face weekends helped to provide real immersion in content and learning that’s very difficult to achieve in a two-night-a-week program. And, the online component helped to guide progress, in my own time, while away from class, and accommodated a full business travel schedule.” - Alison Denby M’06 (Portland Fast Track) Berkeley, CA
