“I decided to go to school at Bryant University because I wanted an edge. After talking with students about all the incredible things they were doing here, and leaning about the internships that were available and the companies that recruit from here, I knew it was the place for me.

Bryant’s mix of courses gives you both the practical and theoretical aspects you need, as well as an international outlook.

“I’ve always loved science and want to use what I’ve learned to help others. When I transferred to Bryant, I had lots of questions. I wasn’t sure what my future would be or even what my options were.

I didn’t have to worry, though, my professors and mentors helped me figure out my path and how to get where I wanted to go. Through them I found the Biology: Pre- Medical and Health Professions track, which I loved.

At Bryant, you have a lot more one-on-one time with your professors. You can ask questions and they’ll take the time to make sure you have the answers, they’ll help you find opportunities that are perfect for you.

Integrity is an important part of the coursework here and it was important to my professors that I was able to make the right choices and be a strong leader. Bryant gave me the confidence to believe in my work and believe in myself.”

“I loved my time at Bryant! The Bryant community was always extremely supportive both in and outside of the classroom. That support, along with exceptional guidance, propelled me to where I am, which is exactly where I want to be.

While at Bryant, I was a portfolio manager for the school’s Archway Investment Fund, which allows finance students to manage real investments with real money. Archway was one of the main reasons I chose to attend Bryant and it immersed me in a hands-on experience with portfolio management.

The professors genuinely care about your education and each offers a valuable, new perspective of the field. I graduated with a powerful understanding of business, allowing me to discover my true passion: an emerging field where sustainability and finance intersect.”
