ABOUT THE SCHOOL
Located in Waltham, Massachusetts, just minutes west of Boston, Bentley University is one of the leading business schools in the United States. Largely unknown (except among accountants) until the late 1970s, this medium-sized New England university has seen a major transformation in recent decades. Today, Bentley is known nationally and internationally for its unique combination of business, technology, and the liberal arts. The business curriculum is integrated with the liberal arts and sciences, including courses in information technology, literature, mathematics, natural and behavioral sciences, economics, history, and philosophy. Moreover, technology is a key component of a Bentley education: the university’s trading room, for instance, is one of the largest in the country. The results are business leaders with“ the deep technical skills, the broad global perspective and the high ethical standards required to make a difference in an ever-changing world.“ For more about Bentley, see www.bentley.edu/about/bentley.
