Honors in action: learn by doing

Welcome from Dean Sugar

Welcome to the Barrett Honors College at the ASU Polytechnic campus. Our mission is to prepare students to become scholars in academia and leaders in industry. As a team, we adhere to our values of leadership and agency, community and belonging, and courage and curiosity.

The faculty, staff and I are here to educate and train you to achieve your aspirations, whether it’s finding that perfect career or pursuing advanced graduate or professional education - either here, or around the world. Barrett can help you find your place in the world and raise your sights even beyond what you think is possible.

Here at the Polytechnic campus, our Barrett Suite in Lantana Hall features a space exclusively for honors students including two classrooms, study/work spaces, a lending library, and a lounge for events and gatherings. The Barrett Suite, with all its amenities, is the perfect place for students to work between classes or to spend some time with friends. In addition to these student spaces, the suite houses offices of our dedicated, full-time Barrett staff and faculty.

We look forward to supporting your success at the ASU Polytechnic campus.

Sincerely,

Associate Dean Thomas Sugar, PhD

  • Connections with other honors students in a variety of majors and from a wide range of backgrounds
  • Easy access to programs and events that enhance your experience
  • Ability to fully immerse yourself in the Barrett community
