Global Honors Flex is an immersive experience that allows Barrett students to take honors courses while living in an honors community abroad. In Spring 2025, the program will be designed for Barrett first-year students in their spring semester, who will earn 15 honors credits while studying and living in Rome, Italy.
Once the center of Western civilization, and with a history spanning almost 3,000 years, Rome houses some of the world’s most-visited attractions. It also includes Vatican City, an independent country within Rome’s boundaries. While in Rome, students will be able to explore some of the world's most breathtaking cultural destinations, like the Vatican Museums, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Spanish Steps.
By the end of Global Honors Flex, you will complete half of your honors curriculum requirements in your first year at Barrett.
