Barrett students at Arizona State University are free to major in any field offered at any of the university’s campuses (Downtown, Polytechnic, Tempe, or West). Unique honors housing is available at all four sites including the new 130 million dollar state-of-the-art Barrett College. While the students enrolled within Barrett constitute a single community with a presence on each ASU campus, the trajectories and missions of each contribute to a somewhat different honors experience.

Barrett has its largest student and faculty groups on the ASU Tempe Campus, located in the Southeast Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Much of the college administration is housed in Tempe, and the many facilities there facilitate the rich programming on offer. In August 2009, a new residential campus opened offering a student center, dining center, administrative and faculty offices, and 1700 beds for Barrett students in a four-year residential community.

Barrett Downtown is home to about 150 students and is poised to grow with this, the newest campus in the ASU system, located in Phoenix and at the very core of the Valley. Its academic programs – Journalism, Social Work, Recreation, Public Administration, Nursing, and Urban and Metropolitan Studies – have important links to the urban surroundings, and Barrett activities build on the synergy. The residential community in Taylor Place is at the heart of the campus and offers an urban living environment where students have easy access, not only to ASU facilities but also to Phoenix’s increasingly vibrant life. Beginning in December 2008, the new light rail will allow students to travel easily between the ASU Downtown and Tempe campuses, increasing opportunities for students at both campuses to take advantage of the offerings of our One College in many Places.

Barrett at Polytechnic, located in the East Valley, is imagining and creating a living and learning environment that reflects and enhances the active, applied focus of a polytechnic institution: learn by doing. Along with ensuring that Barrett students have every opportunity to achieve academic success across the disciplines, future residence environments will be developed in alignment with the unique focus of the campus. Private space, entrepreneurial space, state of the art labs and alliances with local/national/international businesses seek to provide Barrett students with the practical and applied skills, and the theoretical knowledge necessary to exist and compete in the global, real-world marketplace.

Barrett on the ASU West Campus builds on the mix of academic and professional programs offered in a suburban location with many of the advantages of a small liberal arts college. An expanding Residential Community joins a diverse mix of non-traditional students who are attracted by a young faculty committed to themes of leadership, justice and healthy communities.
