Welcome to Bryan College Summer Institute 2026! 🎉
This week, students from across the country are stepping onto campus to experience more than a summer camp. They'll dive into college-level academics, build lasting friendships, grow in their faith, and discover what it means to follow Christ in every area of life.

Throughout the week, they'll be challenged in the classroom, encouraged through worship and small groups, and equipped with biblical habits that will strengthen their walk with the Lord long after they leave campus.

We're excited to see all that God has in store this week. Welcome to Bryan College! ❤️🦁

Active learning is a lot like riding a bike.
You can read about it. You can watch someone else do it. But real understanding only comes when you get on and start pedaling.

In this article, Dr. Benton Jones, Associate Professor of Business and Director of the DBA program, explains how active learning moves students beyond passive listening and into discussion, problem-solving, and real-world application.
