Over 155 Years of Learning
Bryant & Stratton College was founded over 155 years ago to provide practical workplace education. The requirements of the workplace have continuously evolved since our founding and, as we transition from the industrial to the information age, the evolution has accelerated. Keeping abreast of these contemporary needs requires the college to continuously revise and enhance curriculum, modify outcomes, and embrace or develop new teaching and learning methodologies.
For well over a century, Bryant & Stratton College’s fundamental mission has been to provide individuals with skills that are immediately transferable to the workplace and to help them develop in their careers. From Dr. J. C. Bryant's Business Practice "learning lab" of the 1850's to the Active Learning of today, and from early correspondence courses conducted via mail to online education and training conducted via the Internet, Bryant & Stratton College has evolved into an educational institution poised for the 21st century, committed to the same principles set forth by its founders.
While the words in the College's mission have changed over the years, the fundamentals have remained constant: Bryant & Stratton College is dedicated to career education. Today's student is prepared not only for a career upon graduation, but also for a continuum of career-focused learning.
