Barry University

Barry University's liberal arts focus emphasizes a well-rounded education, as evidenced by our wide variety of majors, minors, specializations, and elective courses. Your academic advisor will assist you in developing your schedule each semester as you work towards reaching your personal and professional goals.

Miami's diverse population, thriving industries, and international focus make it an ideal place to earn your degree. Your academic advisor and the on-campus career center will help you identify the local internships and networking opportunities that best fit your degree plan. Plus, being only a few miles from the beaches, shops, and numerous attractions that the city offers means that you'll never be at a loss for something to do when you're in the mood for some off-campus fun with your friends.

MISSION

In the Catholic intellectual tradition, integration of study, reflection and action inform the intellectual life. Faithful to this tradition, a Barry education and university experience foster individual and communal transformation where learning leads to knowledge and truth, reflection leads to informed action, and a commitment to social justice leads to collaborative service.

HISTORY
