Why Barry?

Lots of private universities in Florida participate in the same transfer pathway. Here's what makes Barry different:

You'll be known here. Barry's small class sizes mean your professors know your name — not just your student ID. That matters when you're navigating a new campus.

 

Miami is your classroom. Located in Miami Shores, you're minutes from one of the most dynamic cities in the country — a global hub for business, healthcare, law, and the arts. Your internship, your network, and your career are already nearby.

Automatic transfer scholarships. Up to $16,000 annual renewable scholarships are given to transfers — awarded automatically at acceptance, based on merit.

 

A community that reflects you. Barry is a designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, with a student body as diverse as South Florida itself. If you're looking for a place where you belong, you've found it
