Profile:
Academics: At Bentley University, students benefit from a unique integration of business and the liberal arts. As the largest business school in New England, Bentley offers remarkable depth in topics such as finance, management, marketing, and accountancy. A similarly strong commitment to the liberal arts helps students build skills in critical thinking, decision-making, communication, and other areas essential for a meaningful life and rewarding career. Students also benefit from the liberal studies major, an innovative program that offers an optional double major in business and liberal studies. Students combine courses that fulfill General Education requirements with related electives to pursue a concentration in a topical area such as earth, environment and global sustainability. Students take the same number of courses, but add another credential to their degree – and stand out to future employers.
Location: Bentley is situated on 163 acres in Waltham, Massachusetts. The University’s classic New England campus offers an inviting atmosphere for study and socializing. A location just minutes from Boston puts the city’s many resources within easy reach. Students can take advantage of options ranging from theater performances to art exhibits, dance clubs to alternative rock concerts, championship sports to championship shopping. Boston also offers students a variety of opportunities for internships and jobs after graduation. A free shuttle makes regular trips from the campus to Harvard Square in Cambridge – a great location itself and just a quick subway ride from the heart of Boston.
Student Body: The more than 4,000 undergraduates who attend Bentley live and learn in an environment that reflects and prepares them for a multicultural world. Students come from approximately 40 states and 70 countries. Students benefit from small classes and student-faculty ratio of 14 to 1. The topic of diversity is not only addressed in courses but is also a vibrant facet of campus life. Offices such as the Multicultural Center, Spiritual Life Center, Center for International Students and Scholars, and Women's Center support the University’s commitment to cultural awareness.

Special Features:
Gain Experience: At Bentley, students have a number of opportunities to enhance their learning and test concepts learned in the classroom. Programs include service-learning, study abroad, corporate partnership courses, internships and participation in student organizations, all which help students build their résumé and provide them with an enriched campus experience. Students are able to use all these hands-on experiences to help land full-time employment after graduation. In addition, students have access to numerous programs offered to help them prepare them for a career. These programs, in addition to a more than 90 percent placement rate, have helped the Career Services office earn the distinction of ranking #6 in Career/Job Services by Princeton Review.
Use Cutting-Edge Technology: Unique to Bentley are six high-tech labs: the Financial Trading Room, Center for Marketing Technology, the Accounting Center for Electronic Learning and Business Measurement, Center for Languages and International Collaboration, Media Arts Lab and Studios, and Design and Usability Center. The Trading Room, which is among the largest in higher education, combines sophisticated technology and real-time data. Students take part in simulated trading sessions, using resources such as Bloomberg and DataStream to build an investment portfolio, analyze financial risk, and gain firsthand exposure to finance concepts.
