Harry C. Bentley opens the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance in the Huntington Chambers building at 30 Huntington Avenue in Boston. The first class becomes known as the Bentley Associates. 

Bentley becomes coeducational. Shortly after opening our doors in 1917, Harry Bentley had admitted women because of dwindling enrollment due to U.S. involvement in World War I. Though enrollment reverted back to male-only following the end of the war, women would again be admitted in 1942 after the start of World War II, this time permanently.   

Bentley acquires 103 acres of land in suburban Waltham for a new campus. 

Bentley's Waltham campus opens with 12 new buildings. 

Bentley becomes one of the first schools in the nation to provide incoming students with portable computers. 

The Bentley Women's basketball team wins the NCAA Division II Championship, capping an undefeated season with a 73-65 victory against West Texas A&M. The championship is the first in the program's history. 

The Bentley Arena, the home of our NCAA Division I hockey team and a location for career fairs, high-profile speakers, alumni events and concerts, opens on campus. The Arena is the first standalone ice arena in the country to receive LEED Platinum certification and the first LEED-certified building on campus. As a prime example of sustainable design and energy efficiency, it's a place for generations of Falcons to gather, play, cheer and learn.
