Each year, more than $2 trillion is spent on health care in the United States, and that number is rising. Science is a big business and its only getting bigger
Succeeding in this new bio-economy requires a synergy that’s lacking in traditional education. An intellectual literacy that spans science and business — from chemistry to venture capital, molecular biology to market analytics.
At Bentley, our distinctive fusion of world-class natural and applied sceince curriculum with the best of the business is producing the informed health-care and biotech leaders of tomorrow. Our students don’t just know how the latest cancer drug works, they know why it’s relevant to the consumer, the process needed to get it approved and regulated, and how much money it’ll make in its first year on the market. They know that the health care industry involves more than medicine: it’s taxation, public policy, management, marketing, accounting, and economics, too. In the Natural and Applied Sciences at Bentley, great science is just the first step.
We offer majors in Health Studies and Sustainability Science. Paired with a second Business Studies Major, you’ll develop a strong background in science with the practical knowledge of how that work connects to the business world. Or, you can pair your business major with a second Liberal Studies Major in either Earth, Environment and Global Sustainability or Health and Industry, giving you expertise in two leading fields that will separate you throughout your career.
