Curriculum and Syllabi in Business
Overview
From day one, all students are associated with a supervisor who acts as a mentor throughout the program of study (see Academic Skills).
The curriculum is designed to ensure that the academic program at Bentley provides an in-depth understanding of your chosen subject area as well as a broad appreciation of business in the context of the global economy. This grounding enables you to develop the philosophical underpinnings and the tools and techniques necessary to conduct quality business-relevant research.
