Entrepreneurial Studies and Relationship Business
Bentley College in Waltham, MA, is America's first business university. Our company's founder, Jeff Shuman, is professor of management at Bentley College and founder and director of Bentley's entrepreneurial studies program, ranked 16th nationally in 2003 by U.S. News & World Report.
