Outcomes Overview
Barry graduates earn a median salary of $55,966 ten years after graduation, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 48%. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 6% of typical graduate income. The employment rate reaches 93.9%, reflecting strong job placement in South Florida's healthcare and business sectors. Many graduates enter nursing, education, and corporate roles where Barry's Catholic mission and Miami connections provide networking advantages. However, the relatively modest earnings compared to the $26,997 median debt burden suggests graduates need time to see financial returns. The combination of solid employment prospects but moderate salaries in traditional service fields makes this an average return on investment for students prioritizing stability over high earnings.
