Graduate Admission Events

AI tools are designed to be helpful, but what happens when “helpful” becomes overly agreeable? As large language models become more common in business, education, and everyday decision-making, professionals need to understand a growing ethical risk: AI sycophancy, or the tendency for AI systems to prioritize user approval over truth. Join Bentley’s Cody Turner, co-author of “Programmed to Please: The Moral and Epistemic Harms of AI Sycophancy,” for a timely conversation on how AI can reinforce our assumptions, weaken critical thinking, and create new risks for organizations and society. Drawing on AI ethics, virtue ethics, and real-world examples, this session will explore why human judgment, intellectual humility, and responsible skepticism are essential skills for anyone using AI at work. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to ask better questions and use AI as a tool for stronger thinking, not just faster answers.

11 months to career acceleration. No business background required. Whatever you studied in college, Bentley’s Master's of Science in Management program is designed to bridge the gap. In less than a year, you’ll learn the language of business, gain high-stakes practical experience, and tap into a top-ranked career network, turning your undergraduate degree into a real professional advantage. We'll cover how the program is structured, how it differs from an MBA, and how students master business fundamentals and career development before specializing in either People Management or Managing with Data and Technology. The result: in 11 months, regardless of their undergraduate major, graduates enter career roles with the strategic thinking, business fluency, and management frameworks that most non-business majors spend years developing on the job.

Most workplace challenges don't persist because people lack effort or good ideas. They persist because they're part of a system. In this interactive session, adjunct lecturer Bhasker Natarajan will propose a real-world AI adoption scenario and help you discover why well-intentioned solutions often create unexpected consequences. Rather than teaching systems thinking as a theory, this session lets you experience it firsthand. You'll leave with a practical lens for examining recurring challenges in your own work and a simple habit you can immediately apply when asking: "why does the system keep producing this?" Whether you're leading teams, managing change, implementing new technology, or navigating complex organizational challenges, you'll gain a new way to identify leverage points and make better decisions in an increasingly interconnected world. You'll learn how to spot patterns behind recurring problems, uncover the connections and feedback loops driving them, and identify opportunities to create meaningful change in your work and life. This session reflects the Bentley approach: learning not by memorizing frameworks, but by applying them to real-world problems.
