SMITHFIELD, R.I., April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As a student-centered residential college dedicated to the growth and success of each individual student, Bryant University has announced plans to fully open its campus on June 1, 2021, with all employees working on site at its 428-acre Smithfield campus.
Bryant University will offer several new programs this fall including a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences; accelerated Four-Year BS/MBA (3+1) Program; and a 3+3 partnership with Roger Williams University School of Law.
This aligns with guidance from public health experts and guidelines from the State of RI, which indicate it is safe to resume 100% office capacity on May 28. Bryant is one of the few universities in the nation to complete the academic year at nearly full (94%) residency and with no interruption of classes held in person and is the only university in Rhode Island to hold Commencement ceremonies on campus for both graduates and guests. Commitment to the health and safety of Bryant's campus community has included more than 130,000 tests for COVID-19 and strong support for vaccines. A campus-wide committee will work throughout the summer to plan for fall opening September 4-6.
