We know what you expect out of your professors - excellent teachers who work hard to provide you with the best education possible.  Our professors choose to come to Barry because teaching is important to them. Even though they are active in research, scholarship, and creative/performance activities, Barry faculty are focused on your learning first. They will guide you to put what you learn in the classroom into practice through a wide variety of learning activities.

Our students know they can expect to turn to their professors for a deeper understanding of their areas of interest and of life in general.
