Academic Programs
Bryant University's academic programs are ranked among the top in the U.S. At Bryant, you'll complete courses of study in business, STEM fields and the liberal arts—broadening your horizons and giving you an unbeatable competitive advantage. You'll discover your passion and figure out how to turn it into a meaningful life's work.
Complementing the College of Business and College of Arts and Sciences, the University's new School of Health and Behavioral Sciences offers a unique interdisciplinary education—integrating studies in health sciences, cognitive and behavioral sciences, data analytics, and business—that prepares students for exceptional careers in fields including healthcare analytics, healthcare management and finance, and public and community health.
Our nationally recognized First-Year Gateway provides the foundation for your success by setting the stage for you to explore the global foundations of character, leadership, culture, and business. Bryant's immersive IDEA (Innovation and Design Thinking Experience for All) program will teach you the proven skills of innovators—creativity, empathy, collaboration, connectivity, and perseverance.
Collaborative and experiential learning are at the heart of a Bryant education. Group projects, practicum experiences, academic competitions, and business simulations are just a few of the ways you'll develop highly marketable skills and credentials that will set you apart. You'll work with an industry expert in one class and gain valuable experience through a service-learning project in the next. You'll learn how to innovate—and collaborate—to understand and solve real-world problems.
Bryant's student-centered approach is at the core of everything we do. We keep classes small; there are no large lecture halls, and 100 percent of your classes will be taught by professors—not teaching assistants or graduate students. Our faculty, who are world-class experts and scholars, will be your mentors and coaches, both in class and beyond.
An emphasis on developing a global mindset, through opportunities both on-campus and abroad, will prepare you to truly be a global citizen—ready to work effectively anywhere in the world. You'll explore diverse viewpoints as you challenge assumptions and develop creative and meaningful solutions to international problems.
Beyond the classroom, co-curricular opportunities will sharpen your learning. As an intern or research assistant, you'll be able to connect theory with practice. Student organizations like the Bryant Marketing Association and Smart Women in Finance will help you hone key insights into your profession and make invaluable connections.

With nearly 200 major/minor combinations available at Bryant, ranging from Biology and Marketing to Global Supply Chain Management and Digital Communications, the possibilities are endless. You'll be able to create the path that's right for you and prepare for a career you'll thrive in.
In addition to graduate programs in health care, accounting, and business management, Bryant also offers an intensive One-year MBA degree designed for recent graduates and a Fourth-Year (3+1) MBA Program for undergraduate students that offers significant value compared to five-year BS/MBA options.

Students Say
Bryant University in Rhode Island prides itself on doing things differently, and they stand by that by encouraging an integrated curriculum of business, liberal arts, and health and behavioral science. It’s a combination that students don’t seem to mind, citing “phenomenal job placement numbers.” One student claims “it is very hard to not get a job within six months of graduating.” That could be due, in part, to the fact that the school “excels in its ability to provide hands-on academic experiences” that “ensure all students are ready for what the real world will be like.” One such initiative is the first-year Bryant IDEA Program, which is “a three-day intensive program that teaches design thinking.” Those opportunities don’t end on Bryant’s campus, though, as students can also take advantage of programs like the one-to-two-week Sophomore International Experience abroad.
Regardless of where Bryant’s students are, the “academic experience is always focused on learning rather than getting a grade.” and everyone here is “very willing to offer extra help when it is needed,” making it “hard [for a student] to fall through the cracks.” To that end, faculty here are “professionals in their industry” and are “quite open…about their realworld experiences.” Their words “bring great insight into various industries” and “allow students to get in touch with the latest information so they can catch up with the current [trends] in the business world.” This also comes with the open style of teaching many classes employ, “which allows for a dialogue and expansion of thoughts and ideas in the classroom.” That dialogue also reaches beyond the classroom thanks to an “incredible network of alumni who genuinely care and want to get Bryant students jobs.”

Students Say
At Bryant, “no one is simply looking for a job—everyone is searching for the job.” This leads to “an air of professionalism here,” although students can “be labeled as overinvolved” as they do what they can to gain experience and stand out. It’s not hard for students to recognize each other at Bryant, though, as it’s a “relatively small school in land and in numbers.” One student says, “That means we get to know our peers on a more personal level.” This familiarity is also helped by the fact that “many choose to double major.” Indeed, this group is “driven to succeed in their careers after college,” and “almost everyone who can is employed in a summer internship.” Overall, campus life is teeming with “different types of leaders who are each striving for their individual goals but are also devoted to maintaining a strong, cohesive student body.”

Students Say
For Bryant Bulldogs, weekdays “are filled with class, homework, and group projects,” so students are “always busy with group meetings.” But when they’re not in a meeting or in class, students “normally sit and do homework by the pond—if it is nice out.” When they’re ready to step away from their studies, there’s plenty of school spirit to go around for the NCAA Division I sports: “Everyone goes to…games…dressed in black and gold.” Outside of intramurals, “various clubs attract a lot of students,” with an assortment of options ranging from those that “promote mental health awareness [to those] that play video games every Friday night.” On weekends, students will often “take a trip to Providence for dinner or go on a trip with the Student Programming Board to go bowling, to [see] a play, or to [watch] a Boston sports game.” Whatever your tastes may be, this “extremely welcoming” community has the “perfect balance of academics, recreation, and extracurricular activities.”
