Bentley's MS in Accounting earned high marks recently in Eduniversial's annual rankings of best graduate accounting and auditing in North America, coming in 28th. Eduniversal bases its rankings on three main criteria: program reputation, salary of first employment, and student satisfaction. The rankings are often used by students and employers to determine the quality of an institution, its programs, and its graduates.

Bentley is a long-standing and recognized leader in accounting education. The MSA was the first such program in Massachusetts to gain the prestigious separate accountancy accreditation from AACSB International — the Association to Advance Colligate Schools of Business. Graduates of this program are highly sought after by leading employers for their ability to understand today’s complex global financial marketplace, work across multiple business disciplines and use the latest technology to solve complex challenges.

Recent graduates have accepted positions at some of the world’s leading firms — Accenture, Carlin, Charron & Rosen, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Fidelity Investments, Global Gillette, IBM, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Putnam Investments, State Street Bank & Trust, among others — with positions including senior associate, tax associate, auditor, senior financial analyst, and senior manager of financial analysis.
