I am a WPI graduate and worked there for ten years. My brother is a Babson graduate. Consequently we talk a lot about WPI and Babson. We are both retired, but my brother still has to play with the stocks .
The Foisie Business School was formed shortly after an alumnus dropped $40 million dollars on WPI. They had been offering Management majors and the MBA for decades, but did not have a full fledged business college. The first thing they did was to raid the Babson campus for faculty as they wanted a business program directed toward technical entrepreneurship. When the traffic is light, Babson and WPI are only 40 minutes apart.
Even before Foisie, WPI’s first off-campus project center was on Wall Street. Today there are over 50 centers in 31 different countries.

My brother’s mind was always on business where mine was on math and science. It is great to have the fully developed combination on the same campus.
