General Information About the College
Healthcare education in the Dominican intellectual tradition has been a part of Barry University since its early beginnings in 1940. Our College features nationally recognized undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in a variety of health care specialties. By using multiple classroom innovations, technology-rich curricula and small group discussions as appropriate, our diverse faculty members encourage active learning and strive to produce graduates who are committed to lifelong learning, providing healthcare, and promoting social justice for all.
At some point in our lives, each of us will access health care services. The quality of the care we receive is a direct reflection of our health care professionals. Barry University’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences has a long history of preparing compassionate health care practitioners who are committed to excellence in practice.
Our faculty, supported by an outstanding staff, are dedicated to preparing self-directed graduates who can make a difference in the community as highly competent, caring, culturally-sensitive, health care professionals.
