Your pathway to success begins
Students at Barrett Polytechnic aren’t just joining an honors program, they're joining a dynamic, supportive community. Incoming students are paired with a dedicated Barrett mentor, who’ll help them explore the exciting opportunities at Barrett and ASU, and guide them through their academic journey. Whether it’s attending events, joining clubs, or simply learning to navigate university life, mentors are there every step of the way.
The Barrett Polytechnic Retreat in Northern Arizona kick-starts the Barrett student experience. Attendees meet fellow students, faculty, and staff, while learning more about all the available honors opportunities. As a bonus, students begin to form lasting friendships that will enrich their time at ASU.
The Colloquium is an integral academic support system for incoming honors students. Colloquiants are expert tutors who work one-on-one with first-year students to sharpen thesis-writing skills for The Human Event papers, and support upper-division students in their History of Ideas class. Colloquiants also provide guidance for scholarships, internships, and academic goals. Barrett’s intellectual community and overall learning experience is strengthened and enhanced by The Colloquium.
Students joining Barrett Polytechnic are part of a close-knit community that encourages connections, growth and success!
