Bryant Admissions Information
Bryant University
Smithfield, RI (

Bryant University’s self-imposed nickname, “The One,” is a reference to the school’s basic curricula-based philosophy: Bryant is one of very few schools that operate on the belief that Liberal Arts and Business are not separate but complementary paths. With a strong emphasis on character and ethics, Bryant cultivates students that are prepared for the professional world. They are challenged by rigorous academics, cultural diversity and exploration, corporate and business experience, and teaching.
Bryant prepares its students to endure and adapt to change, which is a skill that becomes handy both during and after college. Practices such as the incorporation of hands-on business experience and student teaching during the college years make academics unique at the university. Clearly, this distinctive approach works, with 97% of Bryant students employed immediately upon graduation. All classes are taught by professors who are established academic leaders, as opposed to teaching assistants, which gives Bryant students the one-on-one attention and commitment essential to the undergraduate experience.

Admissions Information
Bryant University seeks students who are motivated learners and have a history of academic achievement. Minimum entrance requirements include: four years each of English and preparatory mathematics, including a year beyond Algebra II (with a preference for pre-calculus or calculus in the senior year); and two years each of history or social science, a laboratory science, and a foreign language. Remaining secondary course work should be in foreign language, mathematics, science, and social studies. Entering students may receive credit through the Advanced Placement (AP) Program or the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) administered by the College Board. Credit is also awarded for International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level exams.
Applicants to Bryant University are encouraged to challenge themselves beyond these requirements and take honors, Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses where available and appropriate.
