About Us

Study Abroad at Barry University operates under the Career & Experiential Learning (CEL) Department. We support students in pursuing academically meaningful and culturally immersive global experiences that expand their perspective and prepare them for the future.

We believe global education is not simply about travel; it is about intentional learning, reflection, and development. Through carefully designed programs and partnerships, we support students from the first inquiry to their return home.

What We Do

The Study Abroad team guides students through every stage of the process, including:

Exploring program options

Academic planning and course alignment

Application guidance

Scholarship and funding support

Pre-departure preparation

Ongoing support while abroad

Re-entry after study abroad experience and support

From initial interest to returning home, we provide structured guidance to ensure a smooth and enriching experience.

Experiential Learning Beyond the Classroom

As part of Career & Experiential Learning, study abroad provides learning that extends beyond the classroom. Students build essential skills that prepare them for academic, professional, and personal success, including:

• Cultural fluency
• Adaptability and resilience
• Global awareness
• Professional confidence
• Career readiness

International learning strengthens classroom knowledge while supporting meaningful personal and professional growth.

For questions or to begin exploring study abroad opportunities book an appointment via Handshake, or for specific questions email us at studyabroad@barry.edu.

We encourage students to schedule a consultation early in their academic journey to begin planning their study abroad experience.

To participate in study abroad opportunities, students are required to schedule, attend a meeting, and get approval with the Study Abroad Office under CEL. Applications to programs should not be submitted independently.
