The Cronin Office of International Education proudly highlights the international education achievements of the Bentley University community. A lifetime of international learning begins with global ambition and the resources to actualize it. With collaboration with offices across campus, the Cronin Office offered more than $125,000 in annual scholarships for faculty-led and semester study abroad programs for the 2023-24 academic year. We are pleased to showcase these outcomes and the students who achieved them.
