Graduate Admission Blog

Since its founding 50 years ago, the McCallum Graduate School of Business at Bentley has reviewed tens of thousands of applicants. In the recent past, we’ve given applicants the option to waive out of submitting a standardized test. This combined experience has taught us that a holistic approach to admission, which evaluates past work experience, prior academic performance, and existing advanced degrees or certificates, can be a strong predictor for a candidate’s success in graduate school and beyond.
