Environmental Science

If you would like to pursue a career in an environmentally related area, Barry’s environmental science program could be the right choice for you. Our location is ideal for research and observation.

You will also find a strong tradition at Barry that has valued and worked on environmental issues for an extended period of time. This is due, in part, to our foundation as a Catholic University in the Dominican tradition. A section of Millennium Statement of our sponsors, the Adrian Dominican sisters, recognizes the sacredness of earth and the fragility of its ecosystems. This statement calls for a commitment to the healing of our planet through understanding the interdependence of all life systems. We hope that you will decide to join us in this effort!
