Overview
Barry University is a private Catholic university in Miami Shores, Florida, founded by Dominican sisters, serving one of the most internationally diverse student bodies in the region.
Academics
Health sciences are the university's core strength, with nursing, nurse anesthesia, and podiatric medicine all notable, alongside social work and business, both shaped by the university's mission-driven emphasis on service.
Campus & student life
Inclusion and service are lived values on campus rather than slogans, reflected in a genuinely international student population and mission-oriented programming across departments.
Getting in
Admission is holistic, and the university's health-science programs, particularly nurse anesthesia, are meaningfully more competitive than general undergraduate admission given their national reputation.
After graduation
Graduates in nursing and podiatric medicine place into healthcare systems nationally, with the nurse anesthesia program in particular feeding graduates into a competitive, well-compensated specialty field.
