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.

The field of art conservation has evolved parallel to scientific advancements and in response to changing social conditions. Methods have expanded from dusting the surface of a work to bombarding an image with x-rays in an effort to fulfill the ultimate goal of restoration: to return a piece of art to the state originally created by the artist. The process has become much easier and more complex with the introduction of analytical equipment that shifted the focus of the field away from maintenance towards academic study. This work illustrates the changes the field and demonstrates the application of scientific techniques to specific works.
