Major to Career Guide 24-25 by Bentley University Pulsifer Career Development Center

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.

A Note on CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Requirements:

While the CPA requirements in Massachusetts are likely representative of many licensing jurisdictions, students planning to take the CPA exam need to be aware of the specific educational requirements of the jurisdiction in which they intend to sit for the exam. Visit the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy website for the specific requirements in every state in the U.S. The state of Massachusetts requires 120 hours (21 in accountancy) of education in order to take the CPA exam. The courses required for the accountancy degree satisfy the requirements to take the CPA exam in Massachusetts. The requirements for the undergraduate degree in accountancy do not satisfy all requirements for CPA licensure. Among other requirements, an individual must complete a total of 150 hours (30 in accountancy) of education, in addition to passing the exam, to become a licensed CPA. Students interested in CPA preparation should consult a faculty accounting advisor.

Additional Notes:

Context & Perspectives

▪ Students must take 1 course in each of the 6 themes of Context and Perspectives. Courses are unique to each theme; no course can satisfy more than one theme.

▪ Courses must be taken in at least 3 different departments (ex. PH, EMS, HI). This means that students can do a maximum of two courses in one department.

▪ Any number of courses can be shared with majors or minors, but a single course cannot count for both a major and a minor. Additionally, a single course may not count in more than one minor.

▪ Courses that satisfy the Contexts & Perspective requirements may not satisfy any of the required Arts and Science electives.

▪ Context and Perspective courses may count for the Modern Language requirement for BA majors.

▪ Context and Perspective courses may not count for Arts and Science or Unrestricted electives for both BA and BS majors.

Course Sharing Rules

▪ Up to three courses may be shared across different majors.

▪ No courses may be shared between any major and any minor.

▪ No courses may be shared between any minors.

▪ A single course of any kind can be shared up to three times:

o Example 1: If a student has three majors, a single course can count for all three majors.

o Example 2: If a student has two majors, a single course could count for a Context & Perspectives course and both majors.

+ These courses comprise the Business Administration Minor.

^These courses along with the following courses: MG215, MG313, and MK250 are required to complete the Business Administration Major.

A Note on CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Requirements:

While the CPA requirements in Massachusetts are likely representative of many licensing jurisdictions, students planning to take the CPA exam need to be aware of the specific educational requirements of the jurisdiction in which they intend to sit for the exam. Visit the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy website for the specific requirements in every state in the U.S. The state of Massachusetts requires 120 hours (21 in accountancy) of education in order to take the CPA exam. Careful planning in the selection of electives is necessary in order for corporate finance and accounting majors to satisfy the requirements to sit for the CPA exam. AC 350 Federal Taxation and AC 470 Financial Statement Auditing (or AC 472 Internal Auditing) are required to be eligible to sit for the exam. (Note: AC 340 Accounting Information Systems is a pre-requisite for AC 470 Financial Statement Auditing and AC 472 Internal Auditing.)

The requirements for the undergraduate degree in corporate finance and accounting do not satisfy all requirements for CPA licensure. Among other requirements, an individual must complete a total of 150 hours (30 in accountancy) of education, in addition to passing the exam, to become a licensed CPA. Students interested in CPA preparation should consult their Accounting advisor.

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. 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 derived from both structured and unstructured data.

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 our curriculum enables you to combine Data Analytics with numerous other business or arts and sciences majors and minors.

CAREER OPTIONS

Our Data Analytics curriculum’s combination of classroom knowledge, technical expertise and real world experience makes our students in high demand across a variety of industries. With this degree, you will have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of careers. Common career options span a variety of industries, with positions including:

n Data analyst

n Business analyst

n Financial analyst

n Marketing analyst

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:

n Commercial credit analyst

n Compliance specialist

n Consultant

n Database administrator

n Financial analyst

n Financial institutions examiner

n Floor trader

n Investment analyst

n Securities lending associate

n Venture capital analyst/associate

Quantitative Economics

Economics gives us a better understanding of the environment in which all businesses operate. The Quantitative Economics major digs even deeper, focusing on the systematic study of mathematical and statistical analysis of economic phenomena and problems. You’ll take one semester of calculus and other courses that cover topics in economic statistics, optimization theory, cost/benefit analysis, price theory, economic modeling, economic forecasting and evaluation, and econometrics.

It’s the perfect major for students pursuing highly analytical career fields, as well as anyone interested in going on to graduate school in economics or related fields. This major is STEM-designated, so it may also be of particular interest to international students qualifying for extended work opportunities.

CAREER OPTIONS

A major in Quantitative Economics gives students the ability to combine advanced data analysis skills with a strong background in economics. These skills are in high demand across a wide range of careers. The Bentley Quantitative Economics major also prepares students for advanced graduate studies in economics or other quantitative-oriented fields. Job opportunities include:

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 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.

CAREER OPTIONS

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. Positions available to you can include:

Undecided

If you’re unsure about what your major should be, you’re not alone. As many as 50% of students nationwide enter college undecided about a major. At Bentley, your education is built on a broad foundation of business and arts and sciences so no matter what major you ultimately choose, you’ll graduate with the skills and know-how to thrive in your career. You will acquire the business knowledge you need, while learning how to think critically, analyze data, and work in diverse environments. Your academic experience will expand your view of the world by focusing on the following four areas:

FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS

In your first year, you will learn the foundational knowledge necessary for success by developing essential communication, quantitative and technological skills that will prepare you for your academic journey at Bentley— and for life. All students take the following five courses:

n Falcon Discovery Seminar

n Critical Reading and Writing

n Multimodal Communications

n Solving Business Problems with Information Technology

n Mathematics Elective

CONTEXT AND PERSPECTIVES

In your Arts and Sciences courses, you will gain invaluable insights about the world and acquire the tools to make informed, ethical decisions. Students take one course in each of the following categories:

n Institutions and Power

n Values, Ethics and Society

n Scientific Inquiry

n Race, Gender and Inequality

n Culture, Change and Behavior

n Globalization

BUSINESS DYNAMICS

In your Business Dynamics courses, you’ll become acquainted with how successful businesses operate, as you are introduced to the worlds of accounting, finance, law, management and economics. These courses are a great way to explore new fields before selecting a major during your sophomore year.

THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Doing business requires that you understand how the different parts of an organization fit together and how that organization interacts with the outside world. To give you that perspective, students pursuing a business major will take two courses: Business Processes and Systems and Strategic Management.
