The Institute for International Education ranked Babson No. 1 among similar specialty-focused institutions for the number of education abroad students during the 2021–2022 school year. Babson also ranked first for the number of education abroad students on mid-length duration programs in the 2021–2022.

Babson, which offers 120 programs in 41 countries, also ranked No. 2 for the number of international students during the 2022–2023 school year, and No. 3 for the number of education abroad students on short-term Programs for 2021–2022.

“These accomplishments are a result of continuous and diligent work by so many staff and faculty across Babson College,” said Amir Reza, dean of Babson Academy for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurial Learning and dean of global education.

The new accolades come as Babson was ranked the 10th best college in America by The Wall Street Journal and was ranked the No. 1 undergraduate school for entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report for the 27th consecutive time.
