Bentley University General Business Core: An Introduction

The General Business Core consists of nine three-credit courses. It is required of all students completing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in business degree. A portion of it is also required for students completing the B.S. in Mathematical Sciences as well as Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in Global Studies or in Media and Culture. The Core serves multiple purposes. One is to facilitate learning of fundamental business knowledge and skills that all business students, regardless of major, should have by the time they graduate from Bentley. Another purpose is to familiarize students with contemporary business issues, trends and practices, including globalization; business and information technology integration; ethics and corporate social responsibility; valuing diversity; and community service. The Core also provides an integrated perspective to enable students to understand how business functions fit together and how important issues, trends, and practices present themselves in different contexts and aspects of business. General Business course coverage moves from basic knowledge and skills development in the first two years of the Core to more advanced integration and applications in subsequent years. Three first-year courses provide a solid foundation for building business knowledge: GB 110-Legal and Ethical Environment of Business; and the two-course sequence, GB 112-Tools & Concepts in Accounting & Finance; and GB 212-Practice & Applications in Accounting & Finance. The following course descriptions and a flow chart provide more detail.

GB 110 Legal and Ethical Environment of Business Provides an overview of the legal and ethical issues that confront business managers and executives in both starting a business and operating an existing business. Provides an analytical framework to identify legal and ethical issues. Discusses the relationship between business professionals and legal counsel. Discusses topics in contracts, sales, torts, crimes, securities law and Sarbanes-Oxley, business organizations, employment and discrimination and E-commerce. Interweaves international and ethical issues into the topics covered. Includes team assignments where appropriate.

GB 112 Tools & Concepts in Accounting & Finance The primary objective of this course is to provide a foundational understanding of accounting and finance concepts and tools. This course takes students from double-entry accounting through to an elementary understanding of how to construct financial statements. It introduces the use of these statements as the basis for ratio analysis and budgeting. Studets begin their study of the basic time value of money concepts that are the foundation for basic valuation techniques for both financial securities and projects valuation.

GB 212 Practice & Applications in Accounting & Finance The primary objective of this course is to extend the foundational understanding of accounting and finance concepts and tools introduced in GB112. This course takes students from an elementary understanding of the prepared financial statements and introduces how to use them in financial decision-making. It covers the analysis of these statements using ratio analysis and the budgeting process using these statements as a starting point for future forecasts. Students will study the funding decisions facing the firm. They will extend their understanding of basic valuation techniques by learning more advanced techniques for valuing both the securities used to raise these funds and the projects to be funded. Special features of the GB Core’s first year: Developing team skills is important because many Bentley courses require that students work in a group to complete assignments. A required evening two-hour workshop on team skills accompanies GB 110. Team dynamics are studied and reinforced in GB 215 Human Behavior and Organizations(taken in the sophmore year), and skills are applied in GB 320 Integrated Business Project (taken in the junior year).

Written specifically for GB 112 and 212, the instructional narrative “Windspark” places concepts in GB 112-212 as well as GB 110 into the context of a wind energy start-up venture. Students learn how a new organization begins and why different business functions are necessary as well as how they all fit together.

INFORMATION AND PLACEMENT GUIDELINES FOR MODERN LANGUAGE COURSES

FOR INCOMING FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

General information The Department of Modern Languages (ML) at Bentley University offers courses in six languages: Chinese (CH), Spanish (SP), Italian (IT), French (FR); and Japanese (JA). With the exception of Japanese, courses are offered from the beginning through advanced levels. Full descriptions of all the courses are available at the ML Department website: http://academics.bentley.edu/departments/modern-languages/undergraduate-modern-languages-courses

Students can choose to study a modern language for a variety of reasons: to fulfill the Gen Ed requirement in

Humanities, to satisfy the Global Perspectives LSM and/or Global Studies Major requirements, to satisfy the

language requirement for students majoring in a Liberal Arts discipline (e.g., history and/or Media and

Culture). Students also study languages through the Arts and Sciences elective option.

Students may want to consider a Major in Spanish Studies (new this academic year 2012-2013). Please

contact Professor Jane Tchaicha (x3158), Chair of Modern Languages, for more information.

Students can also minor in a Modern Language: See the ML website for specific requirements:

http://academics.bentley.edu/departments/modern-languages/modern-language-programs

Placement guidelines The general guidelines for placement in ML courses are based on high school language training. We do not consider elementary/middle school language as part of the years of language training.

Beginning I: (MLCH101, MLSP101, MLIT101, MLFR101, MLJA101); i.e., all language courses having a 101

designator.

One year or less of high school training in the target language.

Beginning II: ((MLCH102, MLSP102, MLIT102, MLFR102, MLJA102); i.e., all language courses having a 102

designator.

One or two years of high school training in the target language.

Intermediate I: ((MLCH201, MLSP201, MLIT201, MLFR201, MLJA201); i.e., all language courses having a 201

designator.

Two or three years of high school training in the target language.

Intermediate II: ((MLCH202, MLSP202, MLIT202, MLPO202, MLFR202, MLJA202); i.e., all language courses

having a 202 designator.

Three or four years of high school training in the target language.

Page 13: ORIENTATION & REGISTRATION INFO...(413) 552-2007 Berkshire Community College Pittsfield, MA (413) 499-4660 EXCELSIOR examinations are administered by Prometric Testing Centers (formerly

Advanced language courses: (300-level)

Four plus years of high school training in target language. If students have already received AP credit (4 or 5 in

the AP language section), they are ready to take ML 300 level courses in their chosen language. They should

have received credit for either ML 201 or ML 202 depending on the type of AP examl and cannot repeat this

course at Bentley.

Advanced language courses: (400 level).

Non-native speakers: at least one course at the 300-level at Bentley or another institution of higher education.

Native and heritage speakers: these students must be able to read and write at the advanced level—i.e., not

only possess oral fluency.

Note: Presently, there is one course offered at 300- level in French and Spanish (MLSP301 and French for

Business 301), which is also opened to native and heritage speakers as well as non-native speakers.

Interview placements at the beginning of each semester.

During the first week of classes each semester, ML professors conduct individual, 10-minutes interviews with

their students to ensure proper class placement. Presently, Spanish and French are the only languages for

which we have an online placement exam; it is not mandatory but recommended. Students can take the exam

to get a better idea of where they place according to our course levels. The exam is available at our ML

website (under “Highlights” on the left hand side of the home page. Students of Spanish must complete the

entire exam to receive a score and suggested course/level even if they are unsure of some of their answers.

Students of French will receive a score and then forward the information to the ML Chair, Jane Tchaicha

([email protected]) to obtain a placement.

It is very important to underscore that students with four years of high school training will not be able to

enroll in ML beginning courses!! Many try to for a gamut of reasons, but we cannot give them credit for the

course. Please encourage students to challenge themselves rather than advising them to get a “refresher”

course. If we do feel that a student is struggling in a specific course, we can always re-assign them to a

lower level during the first several weeks of classes.
