Mission Statement

Bentley University is about business--and so much more.

We are distinguished not only by our business programs, but also by the way in which we integrate the liberal arts and sciences into our curriculum. We believe this is a priority, as these types of courses will provide knowledge and perspective that will enhance your career success and enrich the quality of your life. Bentley also offers a unique Liberal Studies Major (LSM) as an optional double major program that sharpens your competitive edge by enhancing your ability to think analytically, critically, and creatively. One of the central goals of the LSM is that, by pursuing this course of study, you will be able to make connections across courses and disciplines that are relevant to your chosen concentration. The concentrations are: American Studies; Earth, Environment and Global Sustainability; Ethics and Social Responsibility; Global Perspectives; Health and Industry; Media Arts and Society and Quantitative Perspectives.
