About This School

Bryan University is a private for-profit institution located in Springfield, Missouri with approximately 150 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,383 per year. The graduation rate is 28%, and the typical graduate earns $28,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Bryan University (BU) is a private for-profit university based in Tempe, Arizona. It has additional campuses in Toronto and Portland, Oregon.

The numbers here raise real concerns: only 28% of students graduate, and those who do earn a median of $28,400 ten years out — barely above what the average high school graduate makes — while carrying nearly $17,000 in debt. The small enrollment and private setting might appeal to students who want a close-knit environment, but at $20,383 per year in net costs, the return on investment is hard to justify based on the available data. Worth considering only if you have a very specific program reason that no other school can meet, and even then, compare your options carefully.
