Academics

Bryant students pursue both a major and minor, with one in the College of Business and the other in the College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Health and Behavioral Sciences. By exploring programs across disciplines, you’ll learn how to analyze problems from different perspectives and find creative solutions to today’s most complex challenges.

Bryant’s academic approach is built upon experiential learning. By infusing hands-on projects, research, and internships directly into our curriculum, we push students to think outside of the box and grow their resolve. You’ll work directly with organizations and industry professionals to solve real-world challenges, gaining crucial experience for your future career. 

Through our general education program, known as the Impact Core, we go beyond standard requirements by embedding a commitment to social impact into the curriculum. You’ll examine the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and build the skills and strategy to make a positive difference in our society.

Your educational journey doesn’t happen alone. Throughout your time at Bryant, a growing community will influence and support you. Our 13:1 student-faculty ratio isn’t just a number — it’s a pledge of personalized mentorship and career guidance to help you find your path to success.

The university is committed to creating an environment of excellence in teaching, learning, and discovery. We cultivate an environment rooted in mutual respect and collaboration by upholding freedom of expression and encouraging the scholarly pursuit of knowledge, spirited and open debate, and intellectual exchange.

Since 1863, Bryant University has been defined by the success of its graduates and their drive to create a better future. Guided by a mission to “educate and inspire students to discover their passion and become innovative leaders with character around the world,” Bryant has enabled generations of students to lead with purpose, integrity, and impact.  This legacy continues, sustained by a vibrant and engaged academic community.

We believe that a thriving academic community is built on mutual respect and the exchange of diverse perspectives. The Vision 2030 strategic plan reaffirms Bryant’s commitment to learning across differences and ensuring that every individual feels valued, respected, and supported. As such, we are dedicated to sustaining a campus where scholarly inquiry is protected, where community members are encouraged to express their views, and where diverse lived experiences enrich our collective learning.  At Bryant, we measure the impact of education by how it empowers students to think critically, engage deeply with complex ideas, and form perspectives grounded in respect for others.

In this spirit, we will continue to foster an environment where academic discourse is guided by mutual respect and understanding.  As we engage in conversations that challenge and enlighten, we remain committed to nurturing the wellbeing of all and promoting engaged, constructive dialogue. Above all, the success of our students, and our responsibility to serve and support them, remains our highest priority and guiding purpose.
