A Bentley Education

Bentley, a private, not-for-profit university, is a place for successful leaders who set out to create positive change in our communities, organizations and the world. We believe in doing business and doing good at the same time.

More Than Business

By combining business education with arts and sciences, we provide students with the critical thinking and practical skills to help them collaborate effectively, communicate clearly and lead successful, rewarding careers.

Creating Leaders for Positive Change

Bentley is more than just one of the nation’s top business schools. We are a community of leaders committed to making an impact that doesn’t just move business forward, but that moves us all forward. We prepare students to become a force for positive change from the classroom to the boardroom.

Redefining Success

The Princeton Review ranks Bentley No. 1 in the nation for career services. For more than a decade, 97 to 99 percent of our graduates have been employed or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation. Bentley graduates don’t just land great jobs, they’re engaged in their careers and active contributors to society. It’s a well-rounded approach that delivers a dynamic career and fulfilling life.

I have the comfort of a small community of Bentley students, faculty and staff where I see familiar faces all around, and at the same time, Boston is only 20 minutes away.

To Be a Force sometimes means going your own way. But at Bentley, you’ll never go alone. Our graduates join a family of 65,000 proud Falcon alumni around the world who continue to be a force in their careers and daily lives. Their appetite for lifelong learning keeps them connected to Bentley, instilling a sense of pride and ensuring a network to welcome the next generation of leaders.

Reinventing Business Education for a Changing World

Bentley has been educating business-minded students since Harry C. Bentley first convened 30 accounting students on Huntington Avenue in Boston in 1917. From those humble beginnings, we’ve continuously adapted to become one of the top business universities in the U.S. Bentley has been reinventing business education for over 100 years. Now, we’re doing it again.
