When approved, MBA students may pursue study abroad credit for a semester abroad. Credit may be granted only for elective courses taken at a Babson partner business school when a grade of “C–” or better has been earned and the Office of Graduate Academic Services has received the official transcript. Note: only credit is transferred, not grades. The student’s Babson transcript will record study abroad credit with an asterisk. The Babson GPA does not include grades for courses taken at Babson partner business schools. Therefore, students will have the same GPA when they return from overseas as they had before they left. In addition, with prior approval, students may pursue a semester abroad program at an accredited institution of their own choosing with the permission of the Office of Graduate Academic Services. Courses taken during a study abroad program not affiliated with a Babson partner business school will follow post- matriculation transfer credit policies.
In all cases, whether through the Semester Abroad program at a partner institution or through Post Matriculation Transfer Credit at a non-partner school, MBA students are limited to one semester (12 credits) of non-residential credit.
