In 2014, we had this thread about Babson's Entrepreneurship MBA program, specifically whether entrepreneurs would actually benefit from going through the program. Recently, Babson's Entrepreneurship program was named #1 in the country for the 24th year in a row, despite their MBA program as a whole being ranked 69th (nice).
...students talk extensively about venture finance and IPOs, as well as how to improve the financial analysis of a project in a larger organization. There’s also the fact that all of Babson’s faculty have worked or currently work outside academia, experience that they bring to their teaching to integrate entrepreneurship into learning.
I'm interested in what this huge discrepancy between program and overall school rankings means. Does this simply mean that Babson's Entrepreneurship program is actually very good? Could it imply that an Entrepreneurship MBA isn't a worthwhile degree, thus the more prestigious b-schools aren't putting in the resources to build up those programs?
