MLK Day of Social Justice, Celebration, Learning and Listening.

This January our campus came together for the MLK Day of Social Justice, Celebration, Learning and Listening. It was a first for us at Bentley – canceling classes to allow our entire community to come together to remember and honor Dr. King and learn from each other. I couldn’t be more proud of how we rallied together and challenged ourselves to create this wonderful new tradition on our campus. The incredible array of workshops, presentations, drop-in spaces and learning opportunities — more than 45 in all — was an impressive reflection of all that our students, faculty, staff and alumni have to offer.

Launching Our Part-time Executive PhD Program

Launched in Fall 2023, Bentley’s part-time, three-year Executive PhD in Business program offers unique access for professionals to doctoral business studies. Designed to work for executives who have a minimum of 10 years’ business experience, the program attracts and develops a new breed of high-achieving industry leaders who combine business acumen with a research-driven mindset. Through a combination of online classes and immersion weekends on campus, each cohort of PhD students gain advanced analytical and management skills to tackle significant challenges and make informed decisions — for their companies, for their boards, for their research organizations or for a future career in academe. PhD graduates will leave Bentley with an enhanced ability to identify and address the most consequential of challenges and the advanced management skills needed to effectively implement critical change in an evolving, dynamic, global organization.
