Life at Barry
Barry's suburban Miami Shores campus offers a beautiful, quiet
space far enough away from the city to make you feel like you have
just entered an oasis. Yet, it is close enough to the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami
metropolitan area to give you easy access to main highways, the
beaches, sports venues, cultural events, and numerous opportunities
for practical experience. Barry’s off-site locations are designed
to be close to your home or work, providing you a minimal commute
and more free time to enjoy your regular activities.

South Florida and the Barry community will engage you with people

schools of our size in the South.
