I've been accepted to both schools and am really struggling with which one to choose.
Boston College absolutely has the name recognition and a great alumni network, but Bentley appears to be getting there and from speaking to people in some pretty high positions, they know many people that went to Bentley and think it's a great school.
Cost isn't a factor for either program, as it is fully funded by my employer. I am also looking to sit for the CPA upon completion of both degrees, so I am most interested in which school will most adequately help fulfill that goal for me.
Both campuses are great, though Bentley is a little closer (1/2 the commute time) to my current residence and it seems they are a little more technologically advanced than BC is (speaking to the classrooms and technology utilized).
One difference is the MBA program. To meet the needs of my employer in order to graduate within a 2 year window, it would force me to do the night time "professional MBA" at Bentley and then go to the MSA program there, where with BC I would be doing their normal 2-year program during the day and some night classes in the second year.
