Science

Our department offers undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science (CS), and Computer Information Sciences (CIS) (with two specialization options in Cybersecurity and Multimedia).

Upon completion of our programs, students enter the workforce in the computer science, information technology, actuarial or analytics fields, well prepared to contribute to the rapidly changing cyber-world.

As part of our quality academic program, we offer several internship opportunities for our students, which include the Department of Information Technology (DOIT) on Barry’s campus, with the South Florida Digital Alliance, or with Jackson Health Systems.

Students work with various community partners to provide computer support, website creation, mathematics tutoring and other community engagement activities through academic coursework as part of our mission integration activities. Thus, we provide a transformative educational experience connected to the Barry University mission.

Students may participate in guided research working directly with a faculty member and present their work at local, regional, and national scientific meetings.

All these things make Barry University a unique and valuable educational and personal growth experience.

The Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS) laboratory is a division of Barry University's Learning Center that offers free tutoring and academic support to all students enrolled at Barry University. The MCS lab promotes a learning-to-learn approach by empowering students with the necessary strategies for life-long learning and growth, along with the skills required to succeed in their mathematics and computer science courses. A full range of one-on-one and technology-supported tutorial 

programs are offered by professional tutors, many of whom are college professors. Students at every level benefit from the broad span of subject areas that range from developmental mathematics through advanced calculus, statistics, physics, computer applications, and programming languages. What's more, to further meet the students' needs, there is always an open door policy, with flexible operating hours to accommodate the busy schedule of both on-campus and commuter students.
