The Babson MBA, One Year Later
Graduation is a happy day for everyone. My daughter's reaction was to ask "why are you wearing a dress daddy?"
A little over one year ago, I finished up my final coursework for my MBA from Babson College. The program I completed was the Fast Track MBA. For two years, I was part of a cohort of 88 classmates who met face-to-face every six weeks on Fridays and Saturdays, while also completing weekly assignments, discussions and attending lectures online.
