History Majors with Business Minors
History majors at Bentley often take advantage of the integrated curriculum to add a business minor to their history studies. A history major, combined with a business minor and history internship, provides a particularly attractive program of academic and practical experience. For many career options, it is the ideal professional preparation. History majors can also apply for admission to Bentley's five-year BA/MBA program.
The History Minor
A history minor allows students who are not history majors to pursue a special interest. A history minor can be a significant addition to any major program. The history minor consists of four courses beyond those you'll take in the General Education Core. At least three of these courses must be organized around a regional or thematic concentration. Regional concentrations include United States, European, Latin American/Caribbean, or Asian history.
