The Bryant College Graduate Programs draw professionals from a diverse set of companies, industries, and academic backgrounds.
Most students have full time careers and balance that commitment with family obligations.
Career advancement and the search for opportunity are the biggest drivers. The graduate student body is made up of adults who realize the impact that learning has on their career. Some students are just starting their careers in business, have a few years of work experience, and notice that the leaders and managers in their companies have achieved success in part due to their pursuit of a graduate degree. Others come from a technical or non-business background such as engineering or medicine, and have risen to a management position within their organization. These students seek the critical skills they need for effective leadership, as well as the ability to look beyond their functional area to make decisions that affect their entire organization.
