"There are so many experiential learning opportunities that can take you many different places. One that I participated in is the Walk Down Wall Street. This is an event that brought us to New York City and allowed us to connect with different professionals and alumni from Bryant. I had the opportunity to visit the firm, Forvis Mazars, and really see their future vision and the ways in which they could prepare me to be a leader in the industry."

"Research is something I never even considered before trying it, but now I love it. I was granted the opportunity to work in one of the research labs on campus under the guidance of Dr. Christopher Reid. I've even had the opportunity to co-author a paper. Being published before I even graduate was something I never thought was possible."
The Bryant Formula
DO STUFF
Immerse yourself in hands-on experiences from day one.
You’ll test ideas, build projects, and learn by creating — setting the foundation for the real-world work you’ll take on throughout your four years. This is where curiosity turns into action.
BEAUTIFUL GRIT
Embrace challenge. Push through complexity. Grow through iteration.
By working with real clients, collaborating across disciplines, and participating in global experiences, you’ll strengthen the resilience, adaptability, and insight that define successful leaders.
DAY ONE READY
Turn experience into confidence.
Through internships, research, presentations, capstone work, and real-world consulting, you’ll graduate prepared to solve problems, innovate, and lead — fully ready for what comes next.
Where You Turn Curiosity Into Action
Year 1: Start Building
You jump in from day one. Guest speakers, career panels, and hands-on labs spark your curiosity and build your confidence. Courses like GEN 103 and BUS 100 push you to collaborate, think critically, and experiment boldly. You’ll test ideas, fail smart, and begin transforming your curiosity into real momentum.
Year 2: Work on Real World Problems
You consult for businesses, tackle simulations, shadow professionals, and step into early global project experiences that stretch your thinking across borders. Every challenge builds your confidence, initiative, and leadership.
Year 3: Go Wider, Go Deeper
This is where your world expands. You take on leadership roles, collaborate across disciplines, dive into class consulting, and step into global experiences that build cultural literacy and challenge you to solve problems. You deepen your adaptability, insight, and ability to lead anywhere.
Year 4: Lead and Showcase
In your final year, you shift from learner to leader. Through internships, co-ops, research, capstone projects, practicums, service learning, and professional certifications, you demonstrate mastery and deliver real-world impact. You’ll present your work to partners, mentors, and employers — proving that you’re not just ready for what’s next; you’re Day One Ready.
Bryant IDEA
Kickstart your Bryant journey with an immersive, high-intensity sprint that throws you into real innovation from day one. During this 72-hour design-thinking challenge, you’ll collaborate, prototype, pitch, and solve real business problems — building confidence, creativity, and the mindset to turn bold ideas into action.
Internships
Internships at Bryant are where you level up. You do real work, test ideas, fail smart, and build Day One Ready confidence. And with the Amica Center and Bryant’s employer and alumni network behind you, you get the coaching and connections that create real momentum.
