Most programs require a $30 nonrefundable application fee. This fee is waived for Barry alumni or those referred by Barry alumni.
Electronic document submission is preferred. Documents can be uploaded through your myBarry portal or to myapplicationdocs@barry.edu.
All documents should be sent to:
Office of Graduate Admissions
Barry University
11300 NE 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL 33161
Please include your full name, student ID number, or Social Security number on all documents.
You must submit complete official transcripts from every college or university attended, regardless of whether or not a degree was completed. If you previously attended Barry University, you do not need to re-submit any transcripts already on file. Submission of transcripts required by the Office of Graduate Admissions may be waived at the discretion of the Dean of the College/School offering the applicant’s program.
Transcripts must be in an official envelope sealed by the institution issuing the transcript. Transcripts in envelopes which are opened are not considered official. Official transcripts can be sent directly from the institution to Barry University to myapplicationdocs@barry.edu.
International credentials from an educational system other than the United States must be evaluated by a foreign credential evaluator who is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). The evaluation must be “course-by-course with GPA,” and sent directly from the evaluating agency to Barry University. For a list of NACES members, please visit www.naces.org/members.htm.
Although you may use any NACES member agency, these two agencies provide a specific application designed for Barry students:
