Such a program seems like an ideal match for my aspirations and interests and will nicely compliment my chosen majors' coursework in entrepreneurship around the world, international law, the history and cultures of different regions, and areas of marketing expertise like forecasting and negotiation techniques.
It is difficult to know what the global economic environment will resemble in the next year, perhaps even the next six months. Seismic changes will occur in the way the financial and baking sectors is regulated, the way the interconnected global economy will function, and how geopolitical events will affect and be affected by American economic policy. No one, even the nation's most renowned economists, have all the answer. However, I do know that Babson offers a unique community of scholars that will enable me, as part of that community, to ask the necessary probing questions about such issues to become a leader in the future.
All of the old common economic wisdom is being called into question. Real world experience is necessary, coupled with finely-honed analytical tools to understand data in an unbiased and clear-headed fashion. Babson offers a living business education, the kind that cannot be found in a textbook -- and the world is changing far faster than any textbook.
Studying business and economics in the global environment is not something I simply fell into -- it is a passion of mine. I think Babson is a place where I can study with individuals who share my passion, with my fellow undergraduates, graduates, and faculty members alike. I feel if I do not attend Babson I will miss a critical opportunity to gain the skills to move into my chosen future, and change the future for the better.
