Top Ranking for Pulsifer Career Development Center

The Pulsifer Career Development Center is officially the best in the country.

The center is ranked #1 for Best Career Services in the Princeton Review’s latest guide, The 386 Best Colleges, 2021 Edition. Bentley is also ranked #4 for internship opportunities by the Princeton Review.

“At Bentley, preparing for a post-graduation career isn’t something you wait until senior year to think about; it’s a critical part of the educational experience from day one,” says Janet Ehl, executive director, University Career Services. “Beginning in their first year, students take career education courses, are mentored by career advisers and connect with companies through events, programs and technology. It’s no surprise that so many of our students have jobs lined up months before graduation.”

Bentley offers this strong return on investment by teaching skills that prepare students for jobs of the future and providing plenty of opportunities for internships and other hands-on learning. About 92% of Bentley students complete at least one internship and 71% complete more than one before graduation. All of this leads to successful post-graduation outcomes: For more than a decade, 97% to 99% of Bentley graduates have been employed or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation.

It’s the eighth year in a row that Bentley’s career development department has been ranked in the top 5 in the U.S., demonstrating the university’s successful approach to making sure that students secure good jobs and thrive after they graduate
