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.

An integrated approach to education
Founded in 1940 by the Adrian Dominican Sisters and originally called Barry College for Women, Barry is now a coeducational university that remains faithful to its Catholic intellectual tradition. We know that reflection and action play a big role in intellectual life. Additionally, education fosters individual and communal transformation. That’s why we stress the importance of taking informed action and making a commitment to social justice.
Embracing a global world view, the University nurtures and values cultural, social and intellectual diversity, and welcomes faculty, staff, and students of all faith traditions.
