Bentley University Athletics

Bentley competes in NCAA Division II, where athletic scholarships are available but sports maintain a more balanced role than at Division I powerhouses. The Falcons field 19 varsity teams with 576 student-athletes, meaning about 13% of the 4,288-student body participates in varsity athletics. The university awards over $5 million in athletic scholarships annually. As a member of the Northeast 10 Conference, Bentley typically faces regional rivals like Assumption College and Southern New Hampshire University. The athletic program reflects the school's business focus, emphasizing both competitive excellence and leadership development. Division II allows serious competition while keeping academics as the primary focus. The Falcons have built solid programs across multiple sports, though the university is better known for producing business leaders than professional athletes.
