There are about as many paths through life as there are people, so if you're uncertain about your major, that's understandable. It's also okay to change your mind; a degree is a major commitment (no pun intended).
Our student population is made up of fearless, compassionate leaders out to change the world.
Barry University is a top-ranked Catholic university located in sunny South Florida. Our main campus in Miami Shores offers plenty of space to study under the palms while growing intellectually and personally in an enriching, diverse environment.
