WELLESLEY, Mass., May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- Babson College, ranked No. 1 for entrepreneurship, is
one of the nation's best institutions at offering its undergrads
both outstanding academics and outstanding experiential learning
opportunities according to The Princeton
Review® and the second edition of its book,
"Colleges That Create Futures: 50 Schools That Launch Careers by
Going Beyond the Classroom."
The 50 featured schools comprise only about two percent of
the nation's approximately 3,000 four-year colleges. The Princeton
Review chose the schools based on data from the company's surveys
of administrators and students at hundreds of universities between
2015 and 2017 and drew on feedback from more than 14,000
current students and 232 interviews with current faculty,
administrators, and alumni.
Specifically, The Princeton Review editors weighed information
about the colleges' career center services, internship, externship,
cooperative learning and collaborative research opportunities, and
student engagement in community service and study abroad
programs.
The Princeton Review praises Babson
College for its ability to allow students discover their
strengths, pursue their interests, and create their own path to
success. Among student comments: Even at a school where
business is the name of the game, "everybody at Babson seems
willing to help whenever they can whether it is emotional support
or help with academics." In short, "the average student at Babson
is well read, wildly ambitious, and heavily involved in
extracurricular organizations on campus."
"Babson and the other colleges showcased in this book offer
superb academics," said Robert
Franek, Senior VP-Publisher at The Princeton Review.
"But what makes them stand out are the programs and services they
offer outside the classroom which offer their students real-world
experience, collaborative opportunities with faculty and networking
opportunities with alumni, allowing them to graduate with
outstanding job opportunities or acceptance to post-graduate
studies at first-rate institutions."
