Each incoming class goes through the First-Year Gateway, our innovative, nationally recognized program designed to give you the foundation you need to become a globally-minded, flexible leader and problem-solver.

In today's interconnected and diverse world, social, cultural and ethical understanding are more important than ever for success. The Gateway’s 13-credit core curriculum takes you on a journey of discovery as you explore bedrock principles of character and leadership, and of organizations and business, that will inspire your success today and long into the future.

A unique component of the First-Year Gateway is the integration of student life experiences with academics. Our goal? To help you connect your classroom learning with what you do and think as a member of Bryant’s dynamic community.

The Gateway culminates in the Bryant IDEA (Innovation Design Experience for All), our immersive January program. IDEA is an intensive, unique forum for experiential learning. You’ll develop entrepreneurial skills that keep you agile in a changing world: creative problem-solving, teamwork and the innovation process. You’ll tackle real-world situations in everything from the arts to social services to the business sector.
