History
Originally named the Honors College, the institution was created by the Arizona Board of Regents on July 16, 1988. After six years and being one of the few honors colleges in the country, the honors college was named by Money Magazine as one of the top eight honors programs in the United States. In 2000, the then-CEO of Intel, Craig Barrett and his wife Barbara, who is an ASU alumna, gave the college an endowment of $10 million. Because this was one of the largest gifts ASU had received at the time, the college was renamed Barrett, The Honors College.
