Bentley University

Bentley University is a private university in Waltham, Massachusetts, founded in 1917 by Harry C. Bentley as a school of accounting and finance in Boston and later moved to a suburban campus west of the city. It grew from a specialized accounting school into a business-focused university. Its defining fact is a concentrated mission in business, accounting, and related quantitative fields.

The McCallum Graduate School of Business is the center of graduate work, with programs in accountancy, finance, business analytics, information technology, and the MBA. Teaching emphasizes information systems and the intersection of business and technology. Research centers support work in analytics, accountancy, and financial planning.

Enrollment is about 5,000 students, with roughly one-fifth to one-quarter in graduate programs. International students are a visible share of the graduate cohort. Faculty are concentrated in business disciplines. Alumni work mainly in accounting, finance, consulting, and corporate information systems in Boston and other U.S. business centers.

Graduate study centers on the MBA and specialized master's degrees in accountancy, analytics, and finance, with a coursework-heavy professional model and internship or corporate project options. The calendar is semesters. Students live on or near the Waltham campus, a short commute from Boston's financial and consulting employers.
