In 2005 the college welcomed a crop of new students to campus with the addition of PhD programs in Business and Accountancy. This expansion supported Bentley's long-time commitment to producing thoughtful leaders and has seen great success in the past decade.

2005 also saw the departure of President Morone. After a comprehensive search, the college selected Gloria Cordes Larson who, since 2007, has served as Bentley's 7th President. Larson came to Bentley with a degree in law and a background in both law and economic policy. The fusing of distinct educational enclaves was very important to her, and she has dedicated much of her work at Bentley to making sure that students continue to get as well-developed and comprehensive an education as possible.
