Barry University Reviews

"The pros of the program are the excellent academic program, accessibility, and the support of the administration. Barry University has knowledgeable instructors, a beautiful campus, and is dedicated to the students success. The con of the program is the cost. It is expensive to attend this university. However, it is worth it."

"The Bio-medical Sciences program can be a lot better if the class times were adjusted to more afternoons and weekends. It is hard to keep a full-time job as well as be apart of this program full-time"

"The law program at Barry University is setting a new standard among law schools in Florida. It is still a relatively new program, however, with the trial team beating Harvard law and a Florida Bar pass rate over 90% from the last class it is fast becoming a first class law school through reputation. The quality of professors at this school is something that will set this school apart from other schools. Professors who are at school and willing to help you with any problems. My experience with professors at Barry is that they will often go above and beyond to help you taking much of their own time to help you understand the law."

"A private institution with a history of academic excellence is one of many factors that appealed to me when researching Barry University. Barry University stood out among other institutions, because it provides a program that enhances the understanding of the biomedical sciences and improves the overall profile of post baccalaureate students to gain admission to medical school, pharmacy school, dental school, a biomedical Ph.D. program, or acquire the biomedical sciences workplace. I believe this program is best suited for me, because it enriches my understanding of the biomedical sciences on a graduate level."

"Great program and students are given the opportunities to exercise their knowledge in and out of the classroom. I feel some courses/teachers are not utilized efficiently and would be better off not there"

"Everyone from professors to fellow students are really helpful to one another and truly want each other to succeed. Personally, I appreciate that more than constant competition and unhappiness."

"This program is an amazing program if you didn't get into medical or dental school the first time around. If you want to boost your GPA or make your application stronger, do this program because you will taking courses that M1/D1 students would be taking. They are seriously intensive courses but the professors are helpful as is the administration. They are a small program so processes take longer than expected but if you do well in the program, you will get into a school somewhere after you graduate. Also, it is a non-thesis program so you will have a Masters under your belt without the difficult process of writing a thesis."

"PROS: great faculty support, diverse student population, lab simulations, cohesive CONS: expensive tuition, small program"

"Learning is always my greatest passion, and my professional aspiration is to be a great leader in the educational field. I always seek to challenge my abilities while striving to reach higher goals. Being a student at Barry University in the Public Administration program can provide me with the set of core analytical and technical skills that I need to better understand how public policy is made and implemented."

"With the specific program that I am in, some of the coursework is through distance learning. With some of the courses, such as finance, it just makes it tougher for the student. I have definitely learned a lot and am hopeful that I will graduate very soon since I only have 2 courses left to finish my graduate degree. The one good thing about distance learning courses is that the professors do make themselves available to the students, which is definitely very helpful."

"School emphasizes professionalism and the administration does things like: not communicating with adjunct professors, late listing of summer schedule, no fall schedule listed as of 4-25-13, keeping outdated advertisements in the school emails. But they accepted me so I am grateful."

"The program is intended to be very rigorous so social life naturally suffers. Also the school if on the expensive side, and there is little available in the scholarship/grant department."

"There are many pros of my University. The first pro of Barry are its small, tight knit group of faculty and students that work together to help each other succeed. Additionally, Barry has a very diverse student body so you can be guaranteed to meet individuals of all walks of life, races, socioeconomic statuses and sexual orientations. The education opportunities are endless which is one of the most important things. The only con i can think of is that graduate school is very expensive so at times it can be difficult to imagine living comfortably when instead all i can imagine is paying loans until i am a grandparent. Barrys program is very rigorous and challenging as well."

"My graduate program is an intense and demanding program which prepares you for real world experiences. This program is especially good because it caters to adults who have already been in the work force, as well as students entering the work force. This program is convenient for those who are working full-time because classes are offered online. Also, students have the option of taking courses in the evenings and on weekends. Overall, the program prepares you for the field of Public Administration by providing you with the knowledge and the skills necessary to excel in the field."

"The Pros: Barry University's Biomedical Sciences program was very competitive with its academics. I really grew as a student and my overall science knowledge grew as well. The Cons: The program was somewhat "cookie cutter." They did not take each student as an individual."

"Great school, but school employees don't communicate well with students."

"A con of the program at Barry University is that there is limited housing for Graduate students. Barry University has many pros. It offers a beautiful campus. Barry University provides an excellent academic program, knowledgeable professors, an open atmosphere to speak with the administration and the Dean if needed, and an accessible and supportive staff. Also, Barry University provides activities that are geared toward professional development for the graduate student."

"This graduate program is catered to the working/family student. I have a demanding, full-time job and a young family. The program is flexible, meeting once per week. The down side is the tutition. It is very expensive to attend Barry U."

"My graduate program has many pros. The professors are excellent in conveying the learning objectives of the class and the classroom environment is comfortable. The only con I could think of is the environment where my campus is located."

"Barry has an amazing faculty and staff and the education is amazing. However, the school is very expensive and there is a lack of social options at the school. I am glad to be here and wouldn't trade my experience for anything."
