Study on Campus or Online
Evening MBA students can take courses on the Bentley campus, from home, or at work. All pre-program and program foundation courses are available online, as are courses for the MBA concentrations in financial planning and taxation.
Dual Degree Options

Credits from four courses apply to both degrees, enabling students to earn a valuable extra credential by completing just six additional courses.
