The Barrett Honors experience extends far beyond the classroom. Barrett students have access to cultural and social events, internship and research activities that compliment the academic experience, and a wealth of programs and services that come with the benefit of attending a large Research I institution at ASU. There are many ways to enrich your undergraduate honors experience. Barrett students take advantage of a variety of opportunities that include serving the local Phoenix Metropolitan community, and participating in leadership roles both within the college and the ASU community.

Barrett collaborates with Residential Life on campus to provide both a unique honors Living and Learning Community environment, state of the art facilities and services, and programming for Barrett students. Professional staff that include directors and community assistants in the Barrett Residence Halls are very committed to supporting students around the clock. (continue reading…)
