I chose Barry University after a family member who graduated encouraged me to explore the program. I returned to school to prepare for my next career step and to grow within my field and earning my degree will make me even more marketable. 
Balancing a photography business, my role as an Assistant Chief, and a newborn has been a challenge, but the sacrifice has been worth it. My advice to other adults considering returning to school is simple: don’t hesitate. The leadership skills I’ve gained at Barry have already made a meaningful impact on both my personal and professional life.

-    Richard A. | Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership

Choosing Barry University felt natural because it’s such a trusted name in my community. So many friends and family attended, and that gave me confidence when my husband and I decided to go back and finish our degrees.
Studying at Barry has expanded my knowledge, strengthened my writing, and boosted my confidence. Returning to school was always part of our plan once our children graduated, and making that dream a reality has been incredibly rewarding.
While I’m not focused on climbing the corporate ladder, I’m excited about the new possibilities my degree opens. For anyone thinking about returning to school, keep going even on the hard days. With support, faith, and determination, it’s absolutely worth it. Barry made this journey one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

Barry University is a military-friendly school that made returning to college feel achievable for my wife and I. During the COVID lockdown, we decided to pursue our lifelong dream of earning our degrees. The professors build strong connections with online students, and the experience has boosted our confidence and even inspired us to consider a master’s. 
Barry is a great place for adult learners to learn how to learn again and open doors that were previously closed or you didn’t know existed.
