'''Babson College''' is a [[Private university|private]] [[business school]] in [[Wellesley, Massachusetts]], United States specializing in [[entrepreneurship]] education. Founded in 1919 by [[Roger Babson]], the college was established as the '''Babson Institute''' in his Wellesley home and initially granted one-year certificates. Babson College earned degree-granting authority from the [[Massachusetts|Commonwealth of Massachusetts]] in 1947.

== History ==

===20th century===
[[File:The Babson Institute on Washington Street.png|thumb|left|The Babson Institute at its second location (1920–1922)]]
On September 3, 1919, with an enrollment of twenty-seven students, the Babson Institute held its first classes in the former home of Roger and Grace Babson on Abbott Road in Wellesley Hills.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} The institute's curriculum focused on practical experience. Students observed manufacturing processes during field trips to area factories and businesses, and viewed industrial films on Saturday mornings.

The institute also maintained a business environment as part of the students' everyday life. Studentes kept regular business hours and were monitored by punching in and out on a time clock. They were assigned an office desk equipped with standard machines. Personal secretaries typed the students' assignments and correspondence in an effort to accurately reflect the business world. Roger Babson aimed to "prepare his students to enter their chosen careers as executives, not anonymous members of the work force."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www3.babson.edu/About/History.cfm |title=Babson College: History |work=babson.edu |access-date=January 20, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101228002014/http://www3.babson.edu/About/History.cfm |archive-date=December 28, 2010 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

In 1969, Babson converted its three-year [[Bachelor of Business Administration|Bachelor of Science in Business Administration]] degree into a four-year [[Bachelor of Science]] degree. That same year, the institute became a college, and women were admitted for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.babson.edu/about-babson/at-a-glance/babsons-history/timeline/Pages/default.aspx|title=Timeline – Babson History|first=Babson|last=College|website=www.babson.edu|access-date=August 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170826071426/http://www.babson.edu/about-babson/at-a-glance/babsons-history/timeline/Pages/default.aspx|archive-date=August 26, 2017|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

=== 21st century ===
Babson is involved in a three-college collaboration with [[Olin College]] and [[Wellesley College]], often called BOW.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://centennial.babson.edu/babson100/|title=Babson 100|website=Babson Centennial|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-22|archive-date=December 29, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191229192137/https://centennial.babson.edu/babson100/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bow3colleges.org/|title=Babson/Olin/Wellesley {{!}} Three College Collaboration|website=bow3colleges.org|access-date=2019-02-24|archive-date=May 17, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517004130/http://bow3colleges.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Campus==

=== Pre-1950 ===
[[File:The original Babson Institute on Abbott Road in Wellesley, Massachusetts.png|thumb|left|The Babson Institute at Roger and Grace Babson's former home on Abbott Road]]
Roger Babson purchased farmland in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1921 to establish the permanent campus. This land became the foundation for the college’s growth and development. The campus has grown to over {{convert|350|acre|km2}} and is located in the "Babson Park" section of Wellesley, Massachusetts, fifteen miles west of [[Boston]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.babson.edu/About/ |title=About Babson |work=babson.edu |date=June 15, 2006 |access-date=January 20, 2011| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101227181958/http://www3.babson.edu/About/| archive-date= December 27, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref>

Babson began building its [[Quadrangle (architecture)|quadrangle]] with the construction of Babson Park Clubhouse (renamed Park Manor South) in 1925 and Park Manor Central in 1930. Babson built the Coleman Map Building in 1925 to house the "Great Relief Map."<ref>{{Cite web |last=College |first=Babson |title=Babson College History |url=https://www.babson.edu/about/babson-at-a-glance/our-story/babson-college-history/ |access-date=2025-03-26 |website=www.babson.edu |language=en}}</ref> Built on a spherical surface to match the Earth’s curvature, the map measured 63 by 46 feet, covering 3,000 square feet.
