The Bentley MBA is an innovative 11 month MBA program for professionals with at least 5 years of work experience.  The curriculum is integrative and fosters collaborative learning, focusing on business as a complex social system of interactions by individuals, people who must anticipate and manage change, think and work cross culturally, and understand their personal leadership style.  The Bentley MBA is comprised of 4 ten week modules: Innovation, Value, Environments, and Leadership.  Each module has 8 weeks of class work and 2 weeks on site with corporate partner locations around the world and within the US.   The MBA is designed to address current challenges in global business today, and to be a creative approach to teaching leadership in a business landscape that has changed more in the past five years than any other time in history.
