No matter the medium television, websites, publications through which news travels, it's trained journalists who bring truth to power and the people. Journalism is the field of researching and reporting the news through a variety of media. This Bachelor of Arts introduces students to the fundamentals of journalism, including important aspects of the field such as law and ethics. Students learn to gather information, interview subjects, analyze the content, distill it and then communicate to an audience effectively, accurately, quickly and ethically. While students get exposure to all aspects of journalism, they can also specialize in broadcast or global journalism, even opting for coursework in digital media, such as drone videography or app development, to further prepare them for this always-changing field. A second major or a minor in a specialized field, such as political science, religion or Middle Eastern studies, is required.

Learning Outcomes

Explore the concepts of ecology and genetics in an evolutionary context in the first department of its kind in the world. The field of ecology and evolutionary biology deals with the integration of biological systems across all levels of organization, from molecular biology to global ecosystems. This Bachelor of Science is for the student planning to pursue graduate study or a career in ecology and evolutionary biology, or a related scientific field. The Bachelor of Arts prepares students for careers that require having scientific knowledge, such as scientific journalism, developing environmental and scientific policy or practicing law in related fields. The curriculum includes core courses in genetics, ecology and evolution, with additional study through involvement in independent research, usually by working in the labs of our faculty. Students also have access to certain field courses.

Learning Outcomes

• Concepts in Biology; Demonstrate the ability to define and explain core concepts in ecology, evolutionary biology, and genetics, and in the biological sciences more broadly.
• Scientific Communication; Effectively read, evaluate, and communicate scientific information
• Scientific Method; Demonstrate knowledge and application of the scientific method.

From syntax and phonetics to semantics and sociolinguistics, learn all there is to know about how humans communicate with one another. Linguistics is the study of language and communication. It deals with the exploration of particular languages and the search for general properties common to all languages or large groups of languages. In this Bachelor of Arts program, students complete coursework in the basics of linguistics, such as phonetics (sound patterns), morphology (how words are built) and syntax (sentence structure), as well as how humans use language, such as pragmatics (language in context) and sociolinguistics (language and culture). The renowned faculty includes preeminent linguist Noam Chomsky. Students graduate prepared for an array of professions, from journalism and publishing to international busines

From one-on-one instruction and opportunities for live performances to an inspiring faculty that supports your passion for music, this degree sets you up for professional success. Students earning a Bachelor of Music in Performance with an emphasis in the French Horn learn from and interact with the Fred Fox School of Music's esteemed faculty. Dedicated to honing student talent, the faculty members are equally at home in the classroom, studio and on the stage. Along with individualized instruction and mentoring, performance faculty members regularly appear in solo recitals and as guest artists with major opera companies, symphony orchestras, chamber groups and other ensembles. The school offers students a variety of musical experiences from technical instruction to performing opportunities and presents hundreds of concerts a year.

Enhance your love of all things French with greater language proficiency and deeper engagement with the French culture. Students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in French can opt for two areas of focus. The Language, Literature and Culture emphasis is ideal for students who are considering graduate studies in French or who are interested in achieving a high level of competency in the language. Courses are taught in French by the department's esteemed scholars in French and Francophone language. Students are encouraged to study in Paris as part of a study abroad program that is among the best-established programs at the University of Arizona. In addition to learning to communicate fluently in French, students strengthen their skills in reading, writing, critical thinking and analysis.

Learning Outcomes

• Communication; Communicate in French, both orally and in writing, by engaging in interpersonal, interpretative, and presentational communication activities.
• Culture; Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of other culture(s) in an essay on a cultural topic.
• Comparisons; Develop insights into the nature of languages by analyzing and discussing the relationship between good writing and good thinking as well as showcasing these qualities in one¿s work.
• Connections; Develop critical thinking by making connections and engaging creatively in problem ¿solving activities leading to the completion of a research project.
• Communities; Engage in multilingual communities at home and around the world by applying classroom learning to real world situations

This math degree provides a solid base for graduate studies in finance and beyond. Students earning a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with an Economics and Business emphasis develop a deep theoretical knowledge of the mathematics underlying economics and finance. They will choose a related minor; options include Finance, Economics, or Personal and Family Financial Planning. Undergraduates gain a foundation in mathematical concepts that can be applied across a variety of industries. Whether students aim to address broader economic issues or prefer to focus on banking, finance or economic forecasting, their skill set will be in high demand.

Learn how this degree sets you up for exciting careers in discovery and fast-tracks you for a graduate degree. Molecular and cellular biologists investigate the building blocks of living organisms. Students seeking a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology with a subplan in Molecular and Cellular Biology take courses in genetics, physics, chemistry and more. They gain hands-on experience in laboratory research through independent study, honors thesis work and capstone experiences. Full-time, paid summer research opportunities with renowned faculty are also available. Plus, the Molecular and Cellular Biology Club provides camaraderie with fellow students. Students can streamline their course planning to achieve both an undergraduate and graduate degree with just five years of study through the Accelerated Master's Program.

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern life and apply that understanding to novel scenarios. Including: * how chemical principles govern the activity of life * how cells sense and respond to internal and external cues * how traits are inherited * how molecules, cells, and organisms evolve * how phenotypes emerge from interactions among molecules and cells * how research with model organisms sheds light on all these questions
• Demonstrate understanding of the ways that chemical principles govern the ability of biological molecules to form cellular structures, tissues, organs, and organisms, and the energy transformations that make these steps possible.
• Explain mechanisms and outcomes of the ability of cells to sense and respond to internal and external cues.
• Explain the role of and mechanisms by which the genome and its products generate biological structures and phenotypes, including human disease, including: ¿ Differentiate among replication, transcription, and translation with regard to mechanisms and biological roles. ¿ Analyze mechanisms of inheritance and their consequences for phenotypes. ¿ Differentiate among various types of mutations and predict their outcomes at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level.
• Describe how evolution affects molecules, cells, and organisms and shapes the diversity of life on Earth.
