Leadership...Diversity

These are just two of the many elements that make Barry University unique. We’re proud of the recognition we’ve received in both these areas, but in truth, at Barry, it is all about you, the student.

Here, you’ll receive highly personalized attention from dedicated professors. Our graduates go on to further their studies at institutions such as Baylor College of Law, Emory University Goizueta School of Business, Boston University School of Medicine, Tufts University Dental School and the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.

In fact, in 2008, 92 percent of our graduates from Barry’s biomedical sciences program were accepted to medical and dental schools.

The Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida found that Barry University graduates are the second-highest salary earners among the states’ 28 private, not-for-profit educational institutions, finding work at national companies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Microsoft, UPS, Ernst Young, IBM Latin American and Univision.

What’s more, Barry University was ranked 16th in the nation for Campus Ethnic Diversity by U.S. News and World Report. All of this means that not only can you expect to receive the best possible education, but the rewards will follow long after you leave Barry.
