Explanation	THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDES SCHOLARSHIP ASSISTANCE TO QUALIFIED STUDENTS. MANY SCHOLARSHIPS ARE BASED ON CRITERIA SUCH AS ACADEMIC STRENGTH, ATHLETIC ABILITY, LEADERSHIP, OR COMMUNITY SERVICE.

TYPES OF MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS INCLUDE THE TRUSTEE SCHOLARSHIP, THE PRESIDENT'S SCHOLARSHIP AND THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP. THE UNIVERSITY ALSO OFFERS GRANT FUNDS THAT ARE AWARDED BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED AND DO NOT HAVE TO BE REPAID.

TYPES OF NEED BASED GRANTS INCLUDE BENTLEY SCHOLARSHIPS, AS WELL AS FEDERAL AND STATE SOURCES. ALL SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY CREDITED TO THE INDIVIDUAL'S STUDENT ACCOUNT.	Explanation

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1	UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM: A BENTLEY EDUCATION IS AN UNPARALLELED FUSION OF BUSINESS AND THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. BENTLEY'S EXPANSIVE CURRICULUM, FOCUSING ON BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE LIBERAL ARTS, PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH NUMEROUS OPTIONS, INCLUDING A LIBERAL STUDIES MAJOR, FOR SHAPING AN ACADEMIC PROGRAM THAT FITS THEIR SKILLS, INTERESTS, AND CAREER GOALS. THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS AT BENTLEY MAJOR IN BUSINESS, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ENROLLED IN A BASIC CORE OF LIBERAL ARTS COURSES. BENTLEY ALSO OFFERS SEVERAL OUTSTANDING MAJORS IN ARTS AND SCIENCES. IN ADDITION, NEARLY 800 OF BENTLEY'S 4,000 UNDERGRADUATES DOUBLE-MAJOR IN BUSINESS AND BENTLEY'S INNOVATIVE LIBERAL STUDIES MAJOR (LSM). BENTLEY IS ONE OF THE FEW INSTITUTIONS WHERE A DOUBLE-MAJOR IN BUSINESS AND ARTS AND SCIENCES IS DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETED IN FOUR YEARS. THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM AT BENTLEY OFFERS A VARIETY OF ACADEMIC STUDIES. STUDENTS MAY CHOOSE A MAJOR THAT ENABLES THEM TO DEVELOP EXPERTISE IN A SPECIFIC AREA OF BUSINESS OR PURSUE AN ARTS AND SCIENCES DEGREE, INCLUDING MAJORS IN HISTORY, GLOBAL STUDIES, LIBERAL ARTS, MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, MEDIA AND CULTURE, OR PHILOSOPHY. IN EITHER CASE, STUDIES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY A BALANCE OF BUSINESS AND GENERAL EDUCATION SELECTIONS -- THE BEST COMBINATION FOR PREPARING TOMORROW'S PROFESSIONALS. THE BUSINESS SKILLS THAT STUDENTS DEVELOP ARE ENHANCED BY A CURRICULUM THAT INTEGRATES THE USE OF COMPUTERS AS TOOLS OF ANALYSIS, DECISION-MAKING AND MANAGEMENT. MOREOVER, STUDENTS GAIN FROM THEIR INTERACTION WITH EXPERIENCED FACULTY WHO ARE BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS AND SCHOLARS IN THEIR FIELDS. EIGHTY-THREE PERCENT HOLD DOCTORAL DEGREES. BENTLEY PROVIDES FACULTY WITH THE RESOURCES NECESSARY FOR QUALITY RESEARCH AND TEACHING. GRADUATE PROGRAM: TODAY'S BUSINESS WORLD THRIVES ON INFORMATION AND INNOVATION -- BOTH OF WHICH DRIVE MBA AND MS PROGRAMS AT THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AT BENTLEY UNIVERSITY, A LEADER AMONG BUSINESS GRADUATE SCHOOLS IN BOSTON. THE UNIVERSITY COMBINES DISTINCTIVE PROGRAMS, RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCES TO MAXIMIZE RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN PURSUING A BUSINESS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN BOSTON. THE THREE MBA PROGRAMS AND SEVEN MS PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO EQUIP STUDENTS WITH BROAD-BASED SKILLS IN COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP AND OTHER CRUCIAL BUSINESS FUNCTIONS, WHILE ALSO ALLOWING ONE TO DEVELOP SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE IN A FIELD OF INTEREST. INDUSTRY LEADERS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN DEVELOPING MASTERS PROGRAMS IN BOSTON THAT DELIVER THE SPECIFIC SKILLS REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS IN A GIVEN FIELD. BENTLEY'S PROFESSORS ARE ACTIVE SCHOLARS AND RESEARCHERS, WHOSE OWN WORK IN BUSINESS ENRICHES COURSES AND CLASS DISCUSSIONS. STUDIES WILL BE ENHANCED THROUGH CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH CLASSMATES, WHO COME FROM ACROSS THE WORLD AND REPRESENT A CROSS-SECTION OF FIELDS AND INDUSTRIES. THIS EXPOSURE TO DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES PROVIDES ONE WITH FRESH INSIGHTS INTO BUSINESS ISSUES. TODAY'S GRADUATE STUDENTS ALSO WILL BENEFIT FROM A COLLECTION OF HIGH-TECH LEARNING LABS, WHERE EXPERIENCE USING THE LATEST SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE WILL HELP A STUDENT HIT THE GROUND RUNNING IN THE PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT. THIS ARRAY OF HIGH-TECH RESOURCES, UNIQUE AMONG BUSINESS GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN BOSTON, ENSURES THAT THE DEDICATED STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO FORGE IMMEDIATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN YOUR CURRICULUM AND REAL-WORLD BUSINESS NEEDS AND DEMANDS. DOCTORAL PROGRAM: THE TWO BENTLEY PHD PROGRAMS (IN ACCOUNTANCY AND BUSINESS) ARE BOTH THEMATICALLY FOCUSED AROUND BUSINESS, SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY. THE BUSINESS-FOCUSED PHD PROGRAMS ARE ENHANCED BY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FACULTY IN ARTS AND SCIENCES, WHO WORK ALONGSIDE FACULTY IN THE BUSINESS DISCIPLINES. THIS ENSURES THAT THE STUDENT WILL RECEIVE A BROAD LIBERAL EDUCATION, AS WELL AS ACQUIRING DEPTH IN A PARTICULAR FIELD OF STUDY. THE UNIVERSITY BELIEVES A BROAD YET DEEP EDUCATION BETTER EQUIPS ONE FOR A CAREER IN EITHER ACADEMIA OR BUSINESS. EDUCATING STUDENTS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND CREATIVE LEADERS IN A COMPLEX GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT IS CENTRAL TO BENTLEY'S MISSION. FACULTY EXCELS AT TEACHING, THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM, AND THE DISSEMINATION OF RESEARCH AND KNOWLEDGE. BENTLEY EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING AND PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR PROMOTING AND RECOGNIZING FACULTY EXCELLENCE IN THE CLASSROOM. UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE BUSINESS PROGRAMS AT BENTLEY UNIVERSITY ARE ACCREDITED BY THE ASSOCIATION TO ADVANCE COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS OF BUSINESS (AACSB). THE ACCREDITATION INDICATES THAT BENTLEY UNIVERSITY MEETS OR EXCEEDS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS, AS DETERMINED BY PERIODIC AACSB PEER GROUP REVIEW. THE AACSB QUALITY STANDARDS RELATE TO CURRICULUM, FACULTY RESOURCES, ADMISSIONS, DEGREE REQUIREMENTS, LIBRARY AND COMPUTER FACILITIES, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND INTELLECTUAL CLIMATE. BENTLEY UNIVERSITY IS ALSO ACCREDITED BY THE NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES INC. (NEASC), INDICATING THAT THE SCHOOL MEETS OR EXCEEDS ESTABLISHED STANDARDS, AS DETERMINED BY A PERIODIC PEER GROUP REVIEW. AS AN ACCREDITED UNIVERSITY, BENTLEY IS JUDGED TO HAVE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES AND INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY TO ACHIEVE ITS STATED PURPOSE THROUGH ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. NEASC ACCREDITATION APPLIES TO BENTLEY AS A WHOLE, AND PROVIDES A REASONABLE ASSURANCE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO ITS STUDENTS. AS PART OF A REGULAR TEN-YEAR CYCLE OF REVIEW BY NEASC'S COMMISSION ON INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION (CIHE), BENTLEY HAS UNDERGONE A COMPREHENSIVE SELF-STUDY PROCESS WHICH CULMINATED IN A 10 YEAR ACCREDITATION IN JANUARY 2014. THIS WAS A RESULT OF A VISIT TO CAMPUS BY A TEAM OF PEER EVALUATORS IN MARCH 2013. BENTLEY UNIVERSITY IS ONE OF ONLY TWO BUSINESS SCHOOLS IN THE U.S. AND 130 BUSINESS SCHOOLS WORLDWIDE TO EARN EUROPEAN QUALITY IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM (EQUIS) ACCREDITATION. EQUIS IS THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF QUALITY ASSESSMENT, IMPROVEMENT, AND ACCREDITATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. INSTITUTIONS ACCREDITED BY EQUIS MUST DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY HIGH GENERAL QUALITY IN ALL DIMENSIONS OF THEIR ACTIVITIES, BUT ALSO A HIGH DEGREE OF INTERNATIONALIZATION. WITH COMPANIES RECRUITING WORLDWIDE, MORE STUDENTS CHOOSING TO OBTAIN THEIR EDUCATION OUTSIDE THEIR HOME COUNTRIES, AND SCHOOLS BUILDING ALLIANCES ACROSS BORDERS AND CONTINENTS, THERE IS A RAPIDLY GROWING NEED FOR EACH GROUP TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THOSE INSTITUTIONS IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY THAT DELIVER HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION IN INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT, ACCORDING TO EQUIS.
PROGRAM SERVICES	FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A-4D	LINE 4A, INSTRUCTION (CONTINUED): TO ADVANCE THE FRONTIERS OF KNOWLEDGE, FOSTER CURRICULAR INNOVATION, ENHANCE TEACHING, AND INFORM AND IMPROVE BUSINESS PRACTICE, BENTLEY PROFESSORS PURSUE A RIGOROUS AGENDA OF SCHOLARSHIP AND APPLIED RESEARCH. MUCH OF THIS WORK IS TRANSDISCIPLINARY WITH FACULTY FROM THE BUSINESS DISCIPLINES AND THE ARTS AND SCIENCES COLLABORATING WITH ONE ANOTHER AS WELL AS WITH OUTSIDE SCHOLARS AND BUSINESS LEADERS. ACCORDINGLY, THE BENTLEY CLASSROOM BECOMES A LABORATORY FOR LEARNING WHEN HIGHLY RESPECTED SCHOLARS INTERACT WITH STIMULATED STUDENTS. LINE 4B, AUXILIARY ENTERPRISES (CONTINUED): OTHER AMENITIES INCLUDE ON-SITE LAUNDRY FACILITIES, AIR CONDITIONING, VENDING MACHINES, AND IN SOME BUILDINGS, GAME ROOMS AND WORKOUT FACILITIES. A RESIDENT ASSISTANT LIVES ON EACH FLOOR TO ASSIST STUDENTS. AT BENTLEY, DINING SERVICES OFFERS A RANGE OF DELICIOUS AND CONVENIENT DINING OPTIONS. LINE 4C, STUDENT SERVICES (CONTINUED): SAFETY AND CIVILITY ARE ACHIEVED BY THE JUDICIOUS APPLICATION OF COLLEGE RULES AND POLICIES TO PROMOTE PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. PERSONAL GROWTH AND INCLUSIVENESS ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH STUDENT-CENTERED PROGRAMMING EFFORTS, HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF CELEBRATING DIFFERENCES, BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND CREATING LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. INTELLECTUAL GROWTH IS ALSO STIMULATED BY CREATING RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS THAT ALLOW STUDENTS TO PURSUE THE ACADEMIC ENDEAVORS WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF A BENTLEY EDUCATION. THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY OFFERS THE DIVERSE ARRAY OF STUDENTS AT BENTLEY OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TO COMPLEMENT THEIR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS. THERE ARE MORE THAN 100 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION AND NETWORKING, CHANCES TO CREATE, PLAN AND EXECUTE PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS, CHALLENGE AND EXPAND CURRENT VIEWS BY MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND HEARING NEW IDEAS, AND TO GAIN LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCES. BY ACHIEVING THE GOALS STATED ABOVE, THE BENTLEY RESIDENTIAL CENTER SEEKS TO COMPLEMENT THE ACADEMIC MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY AND PREPARE STUDENTS TO BECOME VALUABLE AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY. LINE 4D, OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: BENTLEY'S BUSINESS-ORIENTED HIGH-TECH CENTERS AND LEARNING FACILITIES GIVE STUDENTS HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH THE LATEST HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE IN FINANCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS, MARKETING, ACCOUNTING AND LANGUAGES. MOST CLASSES INCORPORATE PROJECTS AND ASSIGNMENTS THAT MAKE USE OF THE SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE AVAILABLE IN THESE FACILITIES, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO APPLY CONCEPTS LEARNED IN CLASS. THE CENTERS AND LABS - ALL AMONG THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND IN HIGHER EDUCATION - FEATURE THE SAME HIGH-END HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE THAT BUSINESSES USE. OUR ACADEMIC CENTERS ENRICH STUDENTS WITH RESOURCES AND THOUGHT LEADERSHIP IN ARTS, ETHICS, INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION, AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES.
