Bentley is committed to the teacher‑scholar model, where teaching, scholarship, and service excellence are expected and valued. We seek qualified faculty who represent diverse backgrounds, interests, and talents and share a commitment to high ethical standards and a willingness to embrace challenge and change.

The Finance department encourages and values experiential learning and offers an array of courses supporting BS Finance, BS Financial Technology (FinTech) which is offered jointly by the Finance and Computer Information Systems departments, MS Finance (with a STEM designated Financial Analytics Track), and MBA (Finance concentration) degrees at Bentley. The MSF program is highly ranked (first among U.S. institutions and forty‑fourth globally) in the global Master’s programs in Finance rankings by Financial Times (https://www.bentley.edu/news/financial-times-ranks-bentley-masters-finance-degree-1-us). We also offer the Advanced Standing in Finance program (https://www.bentley.edu/academics/undergraduate-programs/advanced-standing-programs) where some of our top students pursue the BS and MS degrees at Bentley. The department actively engages with students outside the classroom through initiatives and support of student organizations including the Bentley Investment Group (https://www.bentley.edu/centers/trading-room/bentley-investment-group), Bentley Sustainable Investment Group (https://smesg6.wixsite.com/bsig), the LEAF Lab for Economics, Accounting, and Finance (https://www.bentley.edu/centers/leaf), and the Trading Room at the Hughey Center for Financial Services (https://www.bentley.edu/centers/trading-room) to name a few examples. The Trading Room (with 57 seating capacity) offers 24 Bloomberg terminals and subscriptions to FactSet, Capital IQ, Morningstar Direct, and Financial Trading Systems (FTS). The Finance department provides strong support for faculty research through summer research grants and Bentley's subscription to a range of financial data including Factset, IBES, ISS databases, Thompson Reuters, CRSP Mutual Fund, Trace, SDC, to name a few, in addition to standard databases such as CRSP and Compustat. The Finance faculty regularly publishes papers in well‑regarded journals. For more information, please see faculty profiles at: https://www.bentley.edu/academics/departments/finance.
