Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Public health and urban planning are tightly linked, yet their intersection is not always addressed in courses. Urban planning plays a critical role in determining a city’s environmental impact, transportation infrastructure, walkability, and so much more. Creating a class that explores the ways urban planning and public health connect for pre-med and public health students is important because their education shapes the type of health advocates they become. Ultimately, understanding urban planning provides future public health advocates and doctors with a new toolset to improve the public’s health and produce healthier cities. This creative project aims to address this issue by creating a class with 15 modules showing the various ways that urban planning and public health intersect.
