Center for Program Innovation

The Center for Program Innovation is a catalyst for educational change.

Its initial task is the creation of a signature Bryant University learning experience – one that emphasizes experiential learning and integration across disciplines, two fundamental elements of Bryant’s approach to education. The Center’s director and the steering committee currently are partnering with faculty and Student Affairs staff to create a program that will be academically challenging, intensely hands-on, and fun.

Ultimately, the Center will become a clearinghouse for information on program innovation taking place at other educational institutions, and will host seminars and workshops to provide a forum for discussion on these issues.
