For the third year in a row, Bentley is ranked No. 1 in the country for Best Career Services by the Princeton Review, marking 13 consecutive years among the top five in the U.S. Also this year, a new ranking from LinkedIn named Bentley No. 15 in the U.S. among colleges that “best set graduates up for long-term success.” The university was also ranked No. 1 nationwide on LinkedIn’s list of colleges with the highest job placement in financial services.

Cue the cow bells and charged-up cheers. Move-in day for Bentley’s Class of 2029 was anything but quiet, thanks to an enthusiastic group of orientation leaders, resident assistants and other community members who came to welcome the newest students to campus on August 28. The latest class of Falcons is comprised of 1,134 undergraduate students hailing from 35 states and territories and 39 countries. Twenty-six percent of the class are the first in their family to go to college, while 13% are varsity student-athletes.

This summer, crews broke ground on the renovation of the Adamian Academic Center. The project plays a key role in realizing Bentley’s vision to fuel technology, innovation and entrepreneurial excellence on campus. With immersive technology labs and collaborative learning spaces, the center will ensure students are prepared to lead and thrive in the global 21st-century marketplace.

“Important industries like health care must integrate technology to thrive in an increasingly digital world. This initiative will empower Bentley students to become drivers of that innovation in a way that positively impacts the marketplace, society and our planet,” says Danielle Blanch Hartigan, Chester B. Slade Professor of Psychology and executive director of Bentley’s Center for Health and Business. In addition, the renovated center will facilitate collaboration among faculty and their colleagues in other fields, emphasizing the combination of business and arts and sciences that sets Bentley apart. And corporate partners will be able to come to campus and brainstorm with classes about how to bring their products to market.

Bentley’s master’s degree in Finance has been rated one of the best in the world by the Financial Times, coming in at No. 1 among U.S. programs and No. 42 among the top programs globally.

• No. 1 — Alumni salary increase
