The Cronin Office of International Education is committed to ensuring that the study abroad population reflects the diversity of Bentley’s student body. We aim to further improve access to study abroad to those who have been historically underrepresented in higher education and study abroad. Our dashboard was created in the interest of transparency and accountability so that our stakeholders are informed as we measure our progress.
Bentley is proud to be a consistent leading institution in undergraduate study abroad participation according to the Institute of International Education’s annual OpenDoors report. Yet at a national level, although the diversity of study abroad participation has increased in recent years, significant demographic disparities remain.
We are proud of the progress we have made, and we are committed to furthering Bentley’s educational mission through transformative international education.
