Biomedical engineers develop medical technologies in areas such as biomaterials, biosensors, wearable devices and imaging systems to improve people's lives. The Biomedical Engineering Bachelor of Science is geared to students looking to combine strong engineering skills and knowledge of biological sciences. Individualized degree plans are organized around three main areas of study: biomaterials to support or replace damaged tissue, biomechanics for supporting anatomical movement, and biosensors and microtechnologies to improve disease detection and management. Most Biomedical Engineering majors do high-profile research with faculty and complete sponsored senior design projects, which help launch their careers or entry into medical or graduate school. The B.S. in Biomedical Engineering is an approved pre-med program.

Explore the foundations of criminal justice ?thoroughly examining critical topics such as mental health law, youth in the justice system, public policy and national security. Criminal Justice Studies touches on all factors related to crime, the law and the justice system. Coursework introduces students to police, court and corrections operations; crime and public policy; juvenile justice; mental health law; white-collar crime; national security; and intelligence policies. Sponsored by the Rombach Institute on Crime, Delinquency and Corrections, this Bachelor of Science program helps students develop the ability to think critically about criminal justice issues, a necessity in an increasingly complex and politicized society. Other career-ready skills that students develop throughout their course studies include leadership, ethics and management.

Learning Outcomes

• Politics of Crime; Students will demonstrate basic understanding of the intersection between criminal justice practice and political processes and institutions.
• Foundations; Students will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding foundational concepts, practices, theories, and methodologies used in the study of (their chosen field within) criminal justice.
• Research; Students will demonstrate research, writing and comprehension skills relevant to the field of criminal justice.
• Critical Thinking; Student will demonstrate critical thinking about criminal justice issues by assessing competing arguments and developing proficiency in communicating arguments in oral and/or written formats.

For students passionate about sustainably feeding a growing global population, this degree sets you up for success in the U.S. and beyond. In the Bachelor of Science program for Agribusiness Economics and Management, students can select one of two tracks; the Agribusiness Management emphasis focuses on critical management issues dealing with people, food, land, water and other natural resources. Classes help prepare students for careers using real-world data and case studies. Students learn how to manage sustainably natural resources, start and grow businesses, and engage in all aspects of providing access to nutritious food. Students engage in experiential learning of essential skills, including problem-solving, decision-making, project management, team participation and leadership. With an unemployment rate of less than 1%, a future in agribusiness economics offers stability and a fulfilling career.

Learning Outcomes

• Subject Matter Expertise; Acquire working knowledge of the microeconomic analytical frameworks to evaluate alternative business and policy options.
• Critical Thinking & Problem Solving; Correctly identify and define an economic problem; gather information and evaluate alternative approaches using appropriate theories and tools; propose and implement solutions; and evaluate the approaches.
• Communication; Communicate precisely in written, spoken, and graphical form to economist and non-economist audiences.
• Leadership & Collaboration; Collaborate effectively while demonstrating initiative and leadership as appropriate in workplace settings.

Near the U.S.-Mexico border, Tucson offers a thriving environment in which to deepen your knowledge of the fastest-growing demographic in the nation. Mexican American Studies examines the Mexican American experience as informed by social and health sciences, history, law and humanities. Students in this Bachelor of Arts major gain insight into how government and public policy, minority health disparities, urban planning, law, immigration, language and more affect the Mexican American population. Current U.S. demographic trends show that Mexican Americans live and work in the Southwest, the Midwest and the South, and many of these communities need people who are knowledgeable about the challenges and trajectories of Mexican Americans. Students with this degree are in key positions to inform, direct and contribute to a progressive future

Learning Outcomes

• Communication skills; Students will communicate clearly by constructing an evidence-based argument.
• Critical thinking; Students will demonstrate their ability to apply insights from Mexican American Studies theory/theories to the social context of Mexican American communities in order to create social change based on the role of active contributors and/or public policy.
• Evidence-based research; Students will analyze evidence-based research to construct a culturally responsive approach to a problem or issue occurring in the Mexican American community/communities.

Mechanical engineering delves into the design, manufacture and maintenance of all types of machines, from medical prosthetics and robots to energy systems. Mechanical engineers are motion experts. They develop and improve airplanes and agricultural equipment, for example. They also aid in the mechanics of the most complex machine of all, the human body. Students achieving the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering study physics and materials while homing in on particular interests: dynamics and controls, mechanical design, nanotechnology, solid and fluid mechanics, or thermal sciences. Research opportunities and design projects provide real-world experience during all four years of the undergraduate degree program. Mechanical engineering students can look forward to exciting careers in nearly every industry.

In today's digital world, where information is disseminated in seconds, a journalist's role is that of truth-seeker for the masses. The Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with an emphasis in Global Journalism equips students for careers in national and international news reporting.
