Bentley University McCallum Graduate School of Business Reviews
Rating 4.74 out of 5 23 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
I'm pursuing a Master's in Human Factors at Bentley University, where the program focuses on understanding the interaction between humans and technology to improve user experience and system performance.
The best parts of the program include the comprehensive curriculum, covering topics like user-centered design and usability testing. The experienced faculty provide valuable insights, and hands-on projects allow for the practical application of concepts. State-of-the-art facilities enhance the learning experience, and networking opportunities offer great career prospects.
However, there are some challenges. The intensive workload demands effective time management to balance coursework and projects. The high academic standards can be challenging, especially for those new to the field. Additionally, some students might find the choice of electives limited, making it harder to explore certain niche areas of interest.

I have had a fantastic experience at Bentley. The hybrid and fully online courses make it possible for me to have a full time job, take care of my young family, and complete my degrees in a reasonable amount of time. The professors are incredibly knowledgable in their fields and bring so much real world experience to the table. I've learned so much about leadership in my MBA courses that I've actively used in my job.
