General Education
You cannot sustain long-term success in the world of business unless you know a lot more than business. That’s why Bentley puts such an emphasis on providing a broad education. Our graduates are literate, articulate, well-read, independent-thinking individuals with a keen understanding of global issues, civic responsibility and business ethics.
Half of your courses here will be in the arts and sciences, what we call the General Education Core. You’ll learn about a wide range of subjects in the behavioral and social sciences (psychology and history, for example); English, philosophy, and other humanities subjects; and mathematics and the natural sciences.
The General Education Core includes the First-Year Seminar, a program designed to help get your college career off to a good start. Led by teams of staff and students, the seminar introduces freshmen to topics such as academic planning, faculty expectations, group process, student responsibilities, individual learning styles, diversity, gender issues, and interpersonal communication. You’ll also take an introductory course that covers the broad principles of information technology and the specifics of computing resources at Bentley.
