Why Barry?

The advertising program at Barry University exposes students to all areas of advertising. The curriculum is based on the principle that effective advertising requires a broad based knowledge that includes theory and practice. As such a student who might be interested in “creative” also understands the importance of strategic thinking, research, culture and a social consciousness in the development of advertising. We invite students to discover their specialty as they learn about how advertising functions.

Interaction with faculty

Talk to a Barry student studying advertising and they will tell you that they know the faculty in the Department of Communication well, and that the faculty in turn knows them. This familiarity comes through the small classes in which leaning takes place the individualized attention, and a genuine interest in the progress of the student.

Our location in South Florida

Miami is considered the gateway to Latin America making our location here very advantageous. The region is host to numerous advertising and public relations agencies. This enables our students to find attractive internships some of which have led to job offers. Many of our graduates work in Miami in fields ranging from advertising to marketing.
