BENTLEY MAJOR TO CAREER GUIDE 2021-2022
Introduction This guide is to assist you in making the connection between a Bentley major and a specific occupation. It is important to remember that your future occupation may relate more to your talents, work values, skills, and personal interests than any specific academic major. The samples and options for each of the Bentley majors are designed to get you thinking about occupations, work settings, and employers related to a particular major. REMEMBER—these options are certainly not all of the occupations you might consider. After you look at the guides, we encourage you to link to the academic curriculum associated with each major. This will give you an idea of the classes you will need to take for a particular program. We also encourage you to do additional research through O*Net, or by connecting with alumni through the Mentor Marketplace. All links for further research are listed on each guide under the “Connecting Majors, Talents, Skills, and Occupations” section.

AC 311 is a prerequisite or corequisite for many courses in the major and is also one of the more difficult courses to master. Students who are considering an Accountancy major should take this course as soon as possible to help clarify their interest and ability in AC. Accounting elective choices are: AC 331 Government and Not for Profit Reporting, AC 332 Fraud Examination, AC 381 International Accounting, AC 412 Advanced Cost Management, AC 421 Internship, AC 440 Advanced Design and Control of Data and Systems, AC 450 Advanced Federal Taxation, AC 470 Financial Statement Auditing or AC 472 Internal Auditing, or AC 475 Information Technology Auditing Principles and Practice. Students should avoid taking GB 320 and AC 412 in the same semester, whenever possible, given that both courses often require a significant time commitment. In addition, it is not recommended that students take GB 320 concurrently with AC 340 due to the project nature of both courses. Work with a CPA track advisor if you wish to meet the educational requirements of CPA licensure. Please email accountancydept@bentley.edu to be put in touch with an advisor. 1. Placement in this course is determined by the English and Media Studies department. 2. Requirement may be fulfilled with any LIT/CIN/EMS or MLCH 402, MLFR 304, MLIT 304, MLSP 301, 404, or 405. 3.

These occupations can involve research in searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally. Social occupations frequently involve working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others. Artistic occupations frequently involve working with forms, designs and patterns.

DATA ANALYTICS The ability to work with numbers and data is critical to the modern workforce. Every area of business, science, entertainment and, increasingly, the 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. In fact, Forbes magazine reports that, while today’s business leaders have more and more data at their fingertips, they lack the highly skilled workforce needed to harness this information and turn it into successful practice. The Data Analytics major prepares graduates to add value to any organization through quantitative decision-making from both structured and unstructured data. Curriculum was heavily influenced by market research on the skills and experience you’ll need to get ahead in this emerging field. Coursework combines mathematical modeling and business-world pragmatism, including a mix of statistics, computer science, and mathematics.

Conventional occupations frequently involve following set procedures and routines. These occupations can include working with data and details more than with ideas. Enterprising occupations frequently involve starting up and carrying out projects. These occupations can involve leading and managing people and making many decisions, and sometimes require risk taking. Investigative occupations frequently involve working with ideas, and require an extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve research in searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally. Social occupations frequently involve working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others. Artistic occupations frequently involve working with forms, designs and patterns. They often require selfexpression and the work can be done without following a clear set of rules.

PROFESSIONAL SALES Sales is the most common career entry point for college marketing graduates, and a popular first job for business students majoring in any number of fields, including economics, international business, management, finance, operations management and human resources. And yet, employers continue to report frustration with their inability to fill sales job openings.

This strategic mastery is coupled with pragmatic expertise, ultimately translating into success in the employment marketplace — professional sales skills are highly transferrable across industries and can be applied in private and public companies, nonprofit organizations and social missions.

HEALTH STUDIES In the United States, the health-care industry is big business, with annual expenditures of more than $3.3 trillion a year consuming more than 18 percent of the gross domestic product. Health is a leading factor in the productivity of businesses, and health-care costs play a major role on the bottom line of every business. All businesses that provide benefits to their employees spend a large share of their energies on issues related to the health of their employees and the ever-changing dynamics of the health insurance industry. 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 its solution will require considerable ingenuity and creativity, taking into account biology, technology, society and business. A student with a Health Studies degree will be prepared to help individuals and organizations acquire, convert or translate scientific, psychological and business perspectives into more effective health-care delivery.

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 solid 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: n H ealth services n Health-care policy n Health-care management n Health information technology n Health information management n Biotechnology n Public health n Human resources

Office Notes:
PHILOSOPHY Philosophy majors examine fundamental human questions such as the following: What can we know? What exists? What is right? They approach these questions through rigorous study, emphasizing clarity of thought and expression, careful reasoning and problem-solving, and the analysis of diverse viewpoints. These intellectual skills, combined with broad exposure to the liberal arts, are highly valued by the business community and by schools providing graduate training in law, medicine and other disciplines. In addition to major courses, Philosophy majors will take courses in a broad range of business subjects, including finance, accounting, statistics and strategy. By combining skills in critical thinking with business study, these students gain a distinct advantage in the job market. While acquainting students with philosophy’s rich history, the major emphasizes the application of philosophical methods to contemporary problems, especially in ethics. The department regularly offers courses in environmental ethics, healthcare ethics, and business ethics. Majors will have a chance to broaden their knowledge of ethical issues in business by close engagement with the university’s nationally recognized Hoffman Center for Business Ethics. With the approval of the Philosophy major advisor, students are permitted to take up to two electives outside of Philosophy that are relevant to the student’s choice of focus in the major - e.g., students interested in the philosophy of science may take up to two courses in NAS, while students interested in the philosophy of law may take up to two courses in LTFP, etc. IMPORTANT NOTICE! Students are responsible for understanding all university policies, procedures and requirements. Such information can be found in the Undergraduate Course Catalogue, Registrar’s website, and the Student Handbook. Please be aware that overall and major averages must be at least 2.000 for graduation. This information is to help the student in monitoring progress toward the degree. Responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student. 1. Placement in this course is determined by the English and Media Studies department. 2. Requirement may be fulfilled with any LIT/CIN/EMS or or MLCH 403, MLFR 304, MLIT 304, MLSP 306, 307, 404, or 405. Certain topics/titles of MLCH 402 or MLSP 301 may also apply. 3. Math sequence consists of either MA 123 and MA 126 or MA 131 and MA 139, depending upon departmental placement. 4. Elective guidelines are available on the Registrar’s website. 5. You are strongly urged to meet with your department chair on a regular basis, particularly before you register for your PH major requirements. 6. With approval from Philosophy major advisor, students may take up to two electives outside Philosophy that are relevant to student’s focus in the major. 7. BA students must demonstrate intermediate competence in a modern language. Most students do so by completing an “Intermediate II” course. You must meet with the chair of the Modern Languages department to discuss your language proficiency and your required course work. 8. Students must complete either a Business Studies Major or Business Studies minor. BA students may take no more than 30 credits of business courses, including the courses from the Business Studies Major or minor.

Office Notes:
PUBLIC POLICY The realm of public policy encompasses virtually all aspects of contemporary society—economic development, financial markets, health care, education, poverty, crime, the environment, technology, national security and immigration. These complex, and often connected, issues demand a rich and sophisticated understanding of the actions of governmental institutions and the motivations of political actors and other stakeholders in a global political environment. The nature of public policy is such that its development almost always involves non-governmental institutions and actors. Businesses, nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, interest groups, academic and legal experts and the public at-large all play a role in shaping public policy priorities, the public discourse about those priorities, the implementation of public policies and the evaluation of policy outcomes. Students may take no more than 30 credits of business courses, including courses from the Business Studies Major or minor. IMPORTANT NOTICE! Students are responsible for understanding all university policies, procedures and requirements. Such information can be found in the Undergraduate Course Catalogue, Registrar’s website, and the Student Handbook. Please be aware that overall and major averages must be at least 2.000 for graduation. This information is to help the student in monitoring progress toward the degree. Responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student. 1. Placement in this course is determined by the English and Media Studies department. 2.

Math sequence consists of either MA 123 and MA 126 or MA 131 and MA 139, depending upon departmental placement. 4. Elective guidelines are available on the Registrar’s website. 5. GLS Elective may be fulfilled by any GLS course not already satisfying the general education requirement or other major requirement. 6. PPL Electives may be chosen from the following: GLS 200-499, EC 225, EC 282, EC 321, EC 333, EC 341, EC 346, EC 370, EC 376, EC 441, HI 349, LA 101, LA 102, LA 104, LA 105, LA 106, LA 108, MA 309, NASE 318, NASE 380, SO 225, SO 241, SO 242, SO 244, or SO 292. 7. Students who are unable to complete GLS 422 because of unusual circumstances may satisfy the requirement with an alternative GLS course approved by the director. 8. BA students must demonstrate intermediate competence in a modern language. Most students do so by completing an “Intermediate II” course. You must meet with the chair of the Modern Languages department to discuss your language proficiency and your required course work. 9. Students must choose either a Business Studies Major or Business Studies minor. All students must complete an approved experiential learning experience in order to complete their degree. The experiential learning experences can be an internship available through a semester-away program in Washington, D.C., or other internships at the Massachusetts State House, government agencies, local governments or various other nonprofit and private organizations; Bentley service-learning; or an international experience that includes interning while studying abroad for a summer or entire semester.

SUSTAINABILITY SCIENCE The practice of sustainability isn’t good just for the environment — it is an important part of strategic business planning too. Companies are increasingly innovating to conserve energy, water, and raw materials, incorporating renewable energy technologies, reducing and recycling wastes, optimizing supply chains, and enhancing resource efficiencies in manufacturing and all areas of business operations. These practices all add up to greater profitability while reducing their carbon footprint and creating a healthier environment. The Bentley Sustainability Science 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 business 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. Through this major, you will gain realworld skills through a required field experience in environmental science, as well as a capstone project or internship.
HANDS-ON LEARNING You can choose to further your classroom knowledge through our hands-on learning programs: corporate partnerships, internships, service–learning and study abroad.
CAREERS Our Sustainability Science major is excellent preparation if you are interested in a career path that requires you to consider environmental, economic and societal sustainability in corporate decision-making.
