Data Analytics

The ability to work with numbers and data is critical to the modern workforce. Every area of business, science, entertainment, sports, and increasingly, the arts and humanities, is becoming more data-driven. And as the field of business analytics grows, so does the demand for qualified professionals with deep analytical experience.

The curriculum is influenced by market research on the skills and experience you need to get ahead in this emerging field. Coursework combines mathematical modeling and business pragmatism, including a mix of statistics, computer information systems and mathematics.

Data Analytics students may also complete a Business Administration major or minor, providing a solid foundation in the skills needed to succeed in today’s marketplace. If you prefer to gain more expertise in a specific area that interests you, the flexibility of the Bentley curriculum enables you to combine Data Analytics with numerous other business or arts and sciences majors and minors.

EconomicsFinance

The fields of economics and finance are closely related. Economics provides you with an understanding of the environment in which all businesses operate — specifically, how resources such as money, time and labor are allocated and used. You will learn more about the impact of these choices, whether they are made by individual people or companies (also known as microeconomics) or entire economies (also known as macroeconomics). Finance, on the other hand, is the study of how money is managed. Through your course work, you will explore everything from commercial and investment banking to mortgage markets, from accounting principles and practices to corporate finance.

Our Economics-Finance degree offers you a unique opportunity to combine the theoretical and practical applications of these two crucial business functions into a single major. This major may be a good option for you if you are interested in combining economics study with opportunities to develop strengths in mathematics and analytics.

CAREER OPTIONS

The skills you will gain as an Economics-Finance major are particularly well suited for careers in financial services. An EconomicsFinance degree also can be applied to careers in industry, banking or government, as well as graduate study in business-related disciplines or the law. Specific roles for Economics-Finance majors include:

Health Studies

In the United States, the health care industry is big business, with annual expenditures of more than $3.8 trillion, consuming nearly 18% of the gross domestic product. Despite attempts at reforms, our nation is currently on an unsustainable path of increasing health care costs. The causes for this predicament are complex, and any solution will require considerable ingenuity and creativity, taking into account biology, technology, society and business. A graduate with a Health Studies degree will be prepared to help individuals and organizations acquire, convert or translate scientific, psychological and business perspectives into a more effective health care delivery system.

The Health Studies major is an innovative program that integrates the Natural and Applied Sciences health and psychology curricula with Bentley’s core programs in business. In addition to a strong foundation in the laboratory sciences, students with a Health Studies degree will have the flexibility to tailor their studies to specific areas of interest, such as policy, psychology, biotechnology, and global or environmental health.

CAREER OPTIONS

This major gives you a comprehensive and flexible introduction to a wide range of issues related to health, integrated with a solid foundation of business knowledge. It will provide you with a basis for understanding the determinants of human health and disease and how the institutions that deliver or support health care function. The career path for graduates of this program is very promising, including such opportunities as:

Public Policy

Public policy is the analysis of how businesses, nonprofits and governments solve problems and influence society.

Public policy encompasses virtually all aspects of contemporary life: economic development, education, the environment, poverty, crime, health care, science, technology, national security and immigration.

As a Public Policy major, you will learn about current national and global issues through seminars and elective courses; the major also requires that you participate in an applied learning experience. You can take advantage of many internship opportunities available through a semester-away program in Washington, D.C., as well as at local organizations including the Massachusetts State House, state agencies, local government and numerous nonprofit and private organizations. You may also choose to have an international experience by studying or interning abroad for a summer or entire semester.

CAREER OPTIONS

These practices all add up to greater profitability while reducing carbon footprint and creating a healthier environment.

This major gives you a foundation in the science of sustainability, combined with an understanding of business principles and practices at organizations that are looking to incorporate this important function into their operations. The curriculum ensures that you will not only understand Earth’s environmental systems, but also how they relate to business and societal activity — an approach that stands out among primarily science-based programs.
