  • You can expect a high-quality academic experience on our trips.
  • Going on a group trip will mean access to cultural experiences that would be difficult to get as an individual traveler.
  • Traveling on an academic abroad program is a great way for students who live off campus to meet and make friends with other Barrett students.

For international credit-bearing programs, you must also apply for the trip through the Study Abroad Office website at https://mystudyabroad.asu.edu/.
