May I attend part-time?
Most part-time students are non-traditional students who are generally focused on work and/or family and who wish to pursue their education on a part-time basis.
Students who wish to earn a Bryant bachelor's degree on a part-time basis may enroll in a maximum of three courses a semester (not to exceed 11 credit hours). You can choose among day and/or evening classes. Summer and winter session courses are also available.
Applicants for part-time admission are required to submit the following:
- A completed application with a $50 non-refundable application fee. Application fee waivers are available to candidates with financial hardship. Please discuss your situation with an admission staff member.
- Essay (personal statement)
- Final, official secondary school transcript or GED.
- All official college/university transcripts and a list of courses not included on transcripts that you expect to complete before the proposed date of enrollment (if applicable).
A limited amount of financial aid is available for degree candidates who enroll in two or three courses (at least six credits) a semester. To be considered, Bryant requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
