"I chose Barrett because I knew I wanted to challenge myself beyond the typical course load of college," Triathlon stand-out Olivia Jenks said. "I also wanted to be able to live with and be surrounded by other academically-minded students and student-athletes. Barrett allows me to be an academic leader, while also providing a great education in smaller and more focused classes. I love that Barrett provides so many opportunities to learn and grow beyond the typical college curriculum."

"It is really an honor to be a part of Barrett," wrestling's Cade Belshay said. "For me personally, it is about representing something that is larger and more than just athletics. Barrett really gives me that avenue of being not just an athlete. For so wrestling guys to be in the honors program at Arizona State, it really shows what we transpire to be and what we value. Academics has always been a main priority for all of us."
Barrett students complete 36 units of honors credit, including a thesis or creative project, in order to graduate with honors.
"I love Barrett because it pushes me to strive to be the best I can be academically and by doing honors contracts and the thesis, it makes me work harder than I think I would have if I wasn't in Barrett," Kara Woodard from beach volleyball said. "My athletic drive helps me in my academic life and my academic life helps me in my athletic life."
