<p>Considering both of these business schools. Any thoughts on either of these private schools?</p>
<p>In terms of reputation, Babson > Bentley > Bryant.</p>
<p>Bentley is more highly regarded than Bryant.</p>
<p>Bentley over Bryant
Consider Babson as well, particularly if you are interested in entrepreneurial studies,</p>
<p>Why Bentley over Bryant? Are there significant weaknesses at Bryant? Ranked #27 for International Business.</p>
<p>Bentley is much better known than Bryant. Bentley is more selective (lower admission rate, higher test scores), and has better stats for retention and graduation rates. US News has Bentley as #6 among Regional Universities North while Bryant is #77.
You should do an in depth analysis of their programs, course, faculty to compare their strengths and weaknesses. Bryant is still a good school and if you like it better…</p>
<p>For what it’s worth - Business Week’s rankings of undergrad B-schools…
[Business</a> School Rankings and Profiles: EMBA, Executive Education, MBA, Part-time MBA, Distance MBA](<a href=“Bloomberg - Are you a robot?”>Bloomberg - Are you a robot?)
They consider Babson > Bentley > Bryant</p>
<p>
Bryant is #16. I agree with your assessment otherwise.</p>
<p>Visited both these schools 2 yrs ago with my daughter. She was accepted to both with decent merit aid. Our opinion was that Bentley seemed to have the better reputation but Bryant appeared to be on the rise. You’ll get a good education at either. I think it comes down to comfort/fit. Of the 2 my daughter preferred Bryant but wound up attending neither.</p>
<p>I’ll concur with the Babson>Bentley>Bryant. If you’re not an entrepreneur, though, Babson might not be your first choice. DS1 got into Bentley and we had been really high on it. The reason he didn’t go there was we were concerned that if he changed his mind about a business major, he really didn’t have many options at Bentley. The have recently been offering a few options (Global Studies, History, Liberal Arts, etc) but we thought the perception was that if he didn’t come out with a degree in a business major, people would wonder what went wrong. Given that, at least Bryant has more options and isn’t considered strictly a business school like Babson and Bentley. That said, they’re all good schools.</p>
