<p>The son of a good friend majored in a genetics related field and participated in Barrett. I know he really liked the social and academic aspects of the program. He had lots of good internships, but I don't know if those were because of Barrett or if they would have been available to anyone. One advantage for students in Barrett is priority in registering for classes. This should be a benefit to any type of major. Starting this fall, another advantage will be the entirely new housing complex for Barrett students.</p>
<p>Most good internships go to Barrett students who are known to outside employers as the cream of the crop among ASU students.</p>
<p>D has been accepted to Barrett, and has had quite a few phone calls with the Barrett staff and advisers – and has been uniformly impressed with their helpfulness and competence. They also very quickly reply to email questions, which is a big plus.</p>
