ROTC
Barry University students may enroll in ROTC courses through cross-registration
with the University of Miami. Eligibility for registration is determined by the ROTC
department at the university, in accordance with appropriate Armed Service Regulations.
Academic credit is awarded by Barry although an administrative fee may be charged by the
ROTC department at the University of Miami. Uniforms, textbooks, and equipment essential
to the ROTC program are furnished by the U.S. Government.
MARINE OFFICERS PROGRAMS
Qualified students may apply for an officer program leading to a commission as
second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Commissions are offered in both ground
and aviation components. The platoon leader course (PLC) is offered to freshmen,
sophomores, and juniors who attend pre-commissioning training during the summer. Financial
assistance and flight indoctrination programs are available. Qualified seniors attend twelve
weeks of training in the officer candidate course (OCC) after graduation.
INTERDISCIPLINARY OPPORTUNITIES
A number of courses and programs at Barry University provide for an
interdisciplinary approach to education. Examples include majors in international studies,
liberal studies and pre-law, and course concentrations in bio-medical ethics, humanities, peace
studies and women’s studies.
SUMMER SESSIONS
Two six-week summer sessions are held every year, usually from the middle of May
to the middle of June, and from the middle of June until the end of July. Requirements for
admission to the summer session are the same as for the regular academic year. Students
matriculated at another college must have written permission from their dean to take specific
courses at Barry. No other academic credentials are needed to guest students.
GUEST STUDENTS
A student enrolled in a graduate program elsewhere, desiring to earn graduate credits
at Barry University for the purpose of transferring them to the degree-granting institution, must
submit to the admissions office an application form and a letter from the dean of the graduate
school in which the student is enrolled for a degree, stating that he/she is in good standing and
has permission to transfer credit. If possible, the letter should indicate specific courses to be
accepted. Applicants in this category holding a bachelor’s degree are permitted to enroll for a
maximum of six graduate credits; those holding a master’s or a doctorate degree are permitted
an unlimited number of graduate courses.
Inquiries, applications, and all credentials in support of applications should be
addressed to the attention of the Office of Graduate Admissions. The catalog, containing
additional information on the various programs, admission procedures, and other requirements
may be obtained by request at the admissions office, Barry University.
