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.

Money laundering and drugs are commonly thought to go hand in hand; however, money laundering has many forms and can take place in a variety of industries and by the use of many instruments. The main source of Money Laundering data is Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) which are collected by the Treasury Department. This paper outlines a number of ways Money Laundering can occur and analyzes Money Laundering-related SAR data to determine if SARs are more likely to originate from Depository Institutions compared to other industries. This paper concludes with a discussion of possible limitations of SARs and suggests improvements to SARs and bank AML processes.
