"My psychology program in my university during my undergraduate years was amazing in many aspects. The group itself was fairly small so we all grew close in the four years i was there. And not only that but with the small classes we were all able to get to know our professors very well. I was close to my advisor and another teacher and i frequently went to them with advice about what to do after college and advice on what career path would fit me best and other questions like that. However when it came down to providing networking opportunities and opportunities to practice in my field the program fell short."

"Great program if your goal is to become a physical education teacher, or sports coach. If that is not your goal then it is a pretty pointless degree. The program itself is full of great instructors that prepare you very well for what to expect as a teacher or coach. The university is small, and intimate. Its easy to get to know a lot of people there. The student base is diverse, and the campus is located in beautiful Miami Shores."

"Barry University's Masters in Biomedical Sciences program was a great experience. As a student interested in continuing my education by going to medical school, this program definitely helped me to accomplish that goal. The faculty and staff were very helpful and supportive and truly wanted the students to succeed. This program helped me grow and learn a lot about myself and I would definitely recommend it to all."

"Barry University is a fine institution. I studied Physical Education, and obtained my Bachelor's degree. The knowledge I gained from the program more than prepared me for the challenges I would face in the work-place. I do, however, believe that the degree I obtained was not the right choice for me. If you want to become a coach, P.E. teacher, or trainer, then it's a perfectly fine program."

"My program is helping prepare me to understand analyze psychological mechanisms and the concepts of human movement relating to sport, physical education and exercise. Once I complete this program I will be able to help this community by teaching, coaching, doing research or consulting to help improve their performance. I intend to work with elite athletes from all sports in the future."

"Deciding to attend the BMS program at Barry University was the best decision I ever made. Here, I was exposed to many classes that are similar to my first year of dental school. I not only have strengthened my study skills but I have personally matured and grew through this program. It was rough at first being away from home for the first time but I had unconditional support through this journey from the faculty and friends. The journey to dental or professional school is rough so it is great to be surrounded by people who are highly motivated and know what you are going through. The faculty really want to see you achieve your dreams and they are very approachable for help when needed. I can say attending this program has provided me with so many opportunities to achieve my goal. I am very happy to say I have been accepted to a great dental school and will take everything I have learned to help me succeed in dental school."

"The balance of life that my professors and peers helped me reach at Barry University has propelled me into dental school and I couldn't be more thankful to the wonderful graduate staff and students from Dr. C. and P. to each of my friends. Each person has individually contributed to my success and I owe it to them to make a lasting impact in my community. Barry University has given me a foundation I can build on for the rest of my dental career, I'm confident it can do the same for you."

"The BMS program at Barry did not only provide me the academic confidence I lacked in applying to dental school but also added a competitive edge to my resume. The classes and professors at Barry ensure that each student is success when applying to professional school; in preparing you for the MCAT/DAT/PCAT, interviews, personal statements, and advice on how to contact schools. This fall, I will be attending a dental school I once only dreamed of. The BMS program is dedicated to their students and committed to academic excellence."

"Barry University's master's Biomedical Sciences (BMS) was the exact program I needed to get one step closer to my dreams of becoming a dentist. The curriculum is tough, but the professors are exceptionally talented teaching and helping students understand what they need to do in order to do well in medical or dental school. The administration has also created a nurturing environment for students, you can tell each of them cares for their students success, going above and beyond to ensure our questions and concerns are answered. The culture to succeed among the students and faculty at Barry's BMS program, in addition to the academic rigor and supporting staff is, I believe, the main reason I was accepted in to dental school. I start this fall, and I am eternally grateful for my experience here. I feel well prepared."

"The Barry University masters program was specifically recommended to me by a dean at a dental school. I am starting dental school in a few months and feel as if this program has been a great resource that has allowed me to be more prepared. There are other students who are also pursuing dentistry, as well as medicine and nursing. There are also those who will be pursuing a career in research or academia. The program is unique because it prepares you for a broad range of career paths effectively."

"After having only been a student in Barry University's Master's in Biomedical Sciences program for one semester, I have not only received a quality education but I have been also been challenged academically. This program allows their students to engage in rigorous coursework and studies emulating what first year medical school or dental school students are taking. This program is not only beneficial for someone who wants to further improve their chances of being accepted into professional school, but it also provides an educational environment that fosters growth and support among your fellow classmates and from your professors. The diverse student body really supports and lifts one another up throughout this program since we are all pursuing the same goal of becoming health-care providers. And the faculty and advisors at Barry are right there beside you, helping you, teaching you and cheering you on throughout your entire journey while at Barry. I highly recommend this program to any prospective students who are looking for a program that will help guide them towards reaching their dreams of becoming a health professional!"

"I'm a non-traditional student who came back to the university to obtain a post-baccalaureate certificate for pre-health professionals. The program at Barry University prepared me for the professional schools I wish to continue my medical training, and I am happy to report that I have secured several interviews to some of the top universities in the field. The fantastic student-to-teacher ratio (usually 10-to-1, and never more than 20-1) allowed to me to have close and personal relationships with all my professors, all who were more than happy to assist and were accessible outside the classroom. I felt that many were genuinely concerned for the welfare and the success of their students. There were ample opportunities to receive academic help from teaching assistants and tutors. There were opportunities to gain experience in research within the biological and physical science department. Overall, I am very happy with my experience here and would wholeheartedly recommend Barry to anyone looking to further their education."

I had amazing professors, I made a ton of friends, but most importantly, they helped me get prepared for professional school with the amazing curriculum the offer.

"Barry's BMS program, hands down, is the reason I will be attending professional school this upcoming fall semester. I entered the program with a GPA and DAT score not competitive enough to even get an interview at any dental school. With guidance from the faculty, I worked extremely hard, learned a lot, and improved both my GPA and DAT - earning an acceptance. The Hollywood, FL building may not have all the bells and whistles but it most certainly has everything you will need to become successful! Rigorous curriculum, supportive faculty, and positive environment."
