SECTION 1.0 OVERVIEW, MISSION, VISION,VALUES, AND STRATEGIC PLAN1.1 OVERVIEWBentley’s history has been one of steady evolution froma vocational, two-year, certificate-granting institution,to a degree-granting business college, to its currentstatus as a global business university. The BentleySchool of Accounting and Finance was founded as aproprietary school in 1917; in 1948, it was incorporatedas a nonprofit institution; it became Bentley College in1962 and Bentley University in 2008. Bentley currentlyenrolls approximately 4,000 undergraduates, 1,400master’s students, and 32 doctoral students.Bentley University is authorized by its charter to:.conduct an institution of higher education to provideinstruction in business and liberal arts and sciences; toprepare, publish and circulate publications in theforegoing areas stipulated, but not for the purpose ofcarrying on propaganda or otherwise attempting toinfluence legislation; to grant to students properlyaccredited and recommended by the faculty the degreesof “Associate in Science,” “Bachelor of Science,”“Bachelor of Arts,” “Master of Science in Taxation,”and “Master of Science in Accounting,” and otherMasters degrees limited to business related disciplines,“Doctor of Philosophy in Business” and “Doctor ofPhilosophy in Accountancy.”Bentley’s history is one of dynamism and innovation.At the same time, Bentley has steadfastly safeguardedthe core values that have sustained it over its nearlycentury-long history. The theme of innovation andchange is demonstrated by the achievements of theinstitution during the terms of office of its three mostrecent past presidents. Under Gregory Adamian (1970-1991), Bentleyestablished the Graduate School, expanded theWaltham, MA campus, and evolved from acommuter to a residential school for undergraduatestudents. Joseph Cronin (1991-1997) laid the foundations forinternational education and initiated ServiceLearning to support both research and education. During the presidency of Joseph Morone (19972005), Bentley became known as the businessschool for the information age and the concept of theBusiness University emerged. The campus’sphysical facilities grew significantly and innovativeinterdisciplinary PhD programs in Accountancy andBusiness elevated the institution’s research agenda.The seeds for the integration of the arts and sciencesinto the very definition of business education were1planted and began to bear fruit by the end of thisperiod.In 2007, Gloria Larson became Bentley’s seventhpresident. She shortly thereafter initiated a review ofBentley’s mission, and launched a strategic planningprocess that resulted in a strategic plan, entitledAchieving the Business University: 2009-2013. The planreflected the substantial innovation, growth, and changethat the university experienced over the last twodecades, and its trajectory as a business university.As part of the university’s commitment to continuousreview and innovation, in the summer of 2011President Larson charged her Cabinet and other seniorexecutives, in collaboration with stakeholders acrossthe university, to review Achieving the BusinessUniversity: 2009-2013 and to develop Strategic Plan2013-2017: Achieving the Business University.
