About Bentley
Bentley is dedicated to preparing a new kind of business leader — one with the deep technical skills, the broad global perspective and the high ethical standards required to make a difference in an ever-changing world. To achieve our goal, we infuse our advanced business curriculum with the richness of a liberal arts education. The results are graduates who are making an impact in their chosen fields and turning their passions into success stories.
Today, the challenges of a rapidly changing world have made business skills and experiences hot commodities. More students are considering business as the foundation of their higher education experience, and considering Bentley in the process. With our unique blend of business, technology and the liberal arts, Bentley provides students with relevant, practical and transferable skills — precisely what they need in order to succeed in a changing world.
At Bentley we blend the breadth and technological strength of a large university with the values and student focus of a small college. Students interested in business professions choose from a wide range of programs that address all functional areas including accountancy, finance, marketing, management and liberal arts — with a strong foundation in technology.
Bentley students also receive outstanding preparation in the arts and sciences, interact with a faculty of experienced teachers with real-world research and consulting experience, and enjoy a vibrant campus teeming with athletic, social and cultural opportunities. They can choose majors, minors and courses that fully explore the impact of information technology including e-business, e-marketing, cyber-literature, journalism for the World Wide Web, web design, IT and public relations, IT auditing, and information economics.
At the McCallum Graduate School, a broad array of offerings, including PhDs in Business and Accountancy, MBA, Master of Science and certificate programs, emphasize the impact of technology on business practice. Our faculty are continuing to develop the next wave of curricula, emphasizing IT-enabled business processes and careers in knowledge-based professional services.
Students give high marks to our focus on teaching, evidenced by an excellent faculty-student ratio of 1-to-12. There are no lecture halls at Bentley. All courses are taught by professors — not graduate assistants — and students often cite their teachers’ personal interest in their education and professional development.
Concepts and theories that students learn in the classroom come alive in several hands-on, high-tech learning laboratories, each among the first of its kind in higher education, and in the state-of-the-art library, one of the most-technologically advanced business libraries in the country.
