History 1940-2004

Bryan College was established in 1940 by Dr. Mildred T. Bryan, a visionary who dedicated her career to advancing the court reporting industry by training qualified stenographers to be the best they could be. Dr. Bryan welcomed her first three students into her living room, which served as the initial classroom for the institution, originally named Bryan Stenotype School. Over time, with a committed focus on student- and employer-driven principles of excellence, Dr. Bryan succeeded in creating a strong brand image in the legal industry, such that the institution became the number-one choice for students and employers alike, receiving the highest certification pass rates and generating the most notable success stories in the field.

History 2005-2011

In 2005, under the parent company Alta Education, LLC, Bryan extended its reach by opening a campus in Sacramento, CA, furthering its mission to challenge the boundaries of traditional education. With this new campus, Bryan College introduced additional degree programs to support its brand, maintain its legacy, and continue to support its core student- and employer-focused values. These new programs aligned well with Bryan’s mission to provide students with marketable skills that resulted in employment.

History 2012-Present

Near the end of 2011, Bryan College gained University status through the Department of Education, allowing it to offer bachelor's and master's degree programs. Bryan University has taken its unique approach to education to online learning, eliminating geographical barriers for individuals interested in pursuing higher learning and career-related dreams. This prompted the opening of the Bryan University Online headquarters in Tempe, Arizona, where state-of-the-art broadcast technologies are employed for enhancing and improving the educational experience for a growing student body. Despite the growth, the university continues its mission of providing a personalized education for all students, instilling in them the skills they need to succeed from day one on the job.

Bryan University will continue to push the boundaries of traditional learning by broadening its scope to reach more students as it explores emerging new technologies. Even more important, the university remains committed to designing degrees that match professions within high-growth industries, and training students to be the best that they can be within those select professions. In doing so, Bryan University continues its 75-year legacy of helping people achieve their career goals, and, firmly rooted by Dr. Bryan’s principles, the institution plans to remain a leader in higher education for years to come.
