The Stephen D. Cutler Center for Investments and Finance is committed to furthering Babson’s innovative and practical approach to finance education and creating a collaborative environment for faculty, industry practitioners, and students to learn from one another. Your gift supports critical components of our experiential learning programs including technology, software and analytics, student seminars, competition fees, and faculty advisors.
Today, nearly one-quarter of Babson students pursue a degree in finance. With the increased demands on the Cutler Center, a larger space was required for teaching. In June 2019, we opened an expanded center in the Babson Commons, whose location raises the visibility of finance at Babson. The increased square footage also allows us to expand our curriculum and signature learning experiences that improve the marketability of our finance students.
