    Testimonials


    Previous

    What I liked most about Barry University was the professors' understanding that a large majority of the students were full-time working adults. The professors made the classes bearable as well as enjoyable all while instilling a positive learning environment. Having my degree will be an example for others to follow, such as subordinates and even my children. Having a degree allows for more opportunities and provides more benefits for you and your family."

    Jeff Spears
    Sergeant with the Palm Bay Police Department
    Bachelor of Science in Administration

    I wanted to get an IT degree from Barry University as it is military friendly, especially for veterans. Getting a degree after retiring from the military has been one of my best accomplishments—showing my family and kids that it's not too late to get a degree and that they should pursue it after high school. It's hard when you work and have a family. It's tough but possible. I look forward to bigger and better things in life, thanks to Barry University and all the staff."

    Orlando Lopez
    Sr. Procurement Analyst with Raytheon IIS Company
    Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

    I chose Barry for the flexibility and understanding of adult learners. The instructors were very insightful and good people. Getting my degree has shown me that I can accomplish goals. It is a good foundation for my future plans."

    Joshua Butler
    Team Lead at the Melbourne Center for Personal Growth
    Bachelor of Science in Administration

    Being a life-long learner, it simply enhances my life experiences. The instructors have been very engaging and have promoted good discussions."

    David Lubor
    Mission Planning Specialist with the U.S. Airforce
    Bachelor of Public Administration

    I decided to go back and finish the degree I had started 20 years prior. It was something that I knew I wanted to do but at some point, along the way I had given up on. When I learned about the program through Barry, I knew it was perfect for me. The professors understand that many of the students are working professionals and they help to set you up for success. I was able to apply for a position that required a Bachelor's degree during my last semester. I am now the Jacksonville, FL Chapter Director for Blue Star Families, a non-profit that supports military families across the country. None of this would have been possible without my degree from Barry."

    Chapter Director, Blue Star Families, Jacksonville, FL
