Diversity, International and Communication-Intensive Focus Course Requirements
Before graduating, all Bentley students matriculating on or after the fall 1999 term must satisfy the Special Focus Course Requirements by selecting courses from a list of approved courses that have diversity, international studies and communication-intensive material as their focus. In order to graduate, students are required to take and pass:
one three-credit diversity-focused course,
one three-credit international-focused course,
one three-credit communication-intensive course.
Students pursuing a bachelor of science must also complete a second three-credit communication-intensive course, which is specifically designated in the major.
Courses that satisfy the communication-intensive, diversity and international focus requirement are indicated in the course schedule each term. Transfer students entering Bentley with 30 or more transfer credits are waived from these course focus requirements.
