Just saw that Babson College near Boston has announced that it is now offering a Masters in Finance program. Interesting-ish. In my explorations of boutique investment banks in the greater Boston area, I do see a fair amount of Babson people. I would say its the most common or one of the most common in the area outside of the Ivy League and similar top programs.

I've always seen Babson associated with entrepreneurship much more finance. I'm not sure how popular/useful this program will be.
I don't think there is a city in the US that has more schools offering this degree than Boston. Wow. Good for Babson.

Hi TNA, so would you say that Babson's MSF is also a good choice for BB/EB/upper MM recruiting? Thanks
@TNA" BUMP
Yea, I think Babson's entrepreneurial spirit caught on to the deluge of MSF programs popping up.. not a bad choice for those located in Boston, maybe
Babson MSF Reviews, Thoughts, and Opinions (Originally Posted: 11/25/2016)
Hi everyone,
I am hoping to get a bit more insight on the Masters in Finance program at Babson College. Would love to hear your review, general thoughts, and opinions. I am looking to enter the investment banking field and want to see if this school could help. If you attended undergrad or any other grad programs please feel free to share as well.
@TNA" I took a look at your fantastic website and was wondering if you would care to share your personal opinion on the school?
Thanks Everyone.
Babson is a great school- can't go wrong, especially if you're staying in the Boston area.
Given that MBA value is pretty static/ossified, I think Babson's MSF could well become the school's best graduate program - their MBA is what it is, and there's only so much you can improve that, esp when you're in the same city as HBS, Sloan, BC, BU, etc. But MSFs are still quite in flux so I think from a competition standpoint Babson could really leverage their Entrep/innovation reputation into a good MSF program. It helps that their UG business program is well established AND of course BOS/Northeast will be good for local placements.
Coming from Babson, despite its overwhelming entrepreneurial spirit, a good number of students pursue finance. Given the rankings and performance of graduates, plenty of finance firms come looking for ugrads. As a result, it made sense for the school to offer a MSF to bring finance to the grad school.
Did you do undergrad or graduate there?
Undergrad.
