One of the nation’s leading business schools, Bentley University was founded in 1917. Bentley provides students with relevant, practical, and transferable skills through an advanced business curriculum infused with the richness of a liberal arts education. Blending the breadth and technological strength of a large university with the values and student focus of a small college, Bentley prepares a new kind of business leader—one with deep technical skills, a broad global perspective, and high ethical standards.
