The BA in philosophy with a concentration in morality, politics and law combines the basic analytical approaches of philosophy with an emphasis on the moral questions that arise in political theory and law. The foundations of our political and legal systems are moral values, such as individual liberty, equality and justice. These are contested values, open to different understandings of their nature and implications.

Students explore the nature of morality, political theory, legal theory and the interconnections between them. Students complete philosophy courses as well as courses from disciplines related to philosophy to enrich and enliven their understanding of the intersections of morality, politics and law. This degree program is of special interest to students planning to pursue postgraduate work in law, policy or politics.

Students participating in the W. P. Carey MRED program participate in group projects focused on real estate development in a collaborative class environment. Students learn to address the physical, legal, economic, political and financial conditions of property in order to find solutions and complete projects.

This transdisciplinary program is a partnership with the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, the Herberger Institute for Design and Arts and the Del E. Webb School of Construction.

Students of the intermedia art concentration study traditional and emerging forms and orientations, including performance, installation, 3D fabrication, digital sculpture, public and place-based art, digital animation and experimental and documentary video.
Faculty also teach special topics, including the recent studio seminars on walking as art practice and the engagement of women in the field of art and technology. Intermedia faculty nurture students' talents and provide them with the skills they need to capture creative and professional opportunities, exhibitions, grants, commissions, residencies and employment as educators, curators and media and arts professionals across an array of established and emerging fields.

The MIA is a studio-based degree that provides a focused experience for students with an undergraduate degree in interior design or architecture. For students without this background, an additional three semesters of study are available.

Focusing on the development of groundbreaking design solutions to contemporary and emergent societal issues, such as sustainability and community engagement, this program draws upon history, theory and criticism to inform a collaborative, evidence-based approach to the design of interior environments. This provides a foundation of transdisciplinary learning to assist in the understanding of integrated practice.

The Master of Interior Architecture degree is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. Completion of the degree qualifies a graduate to seek work experience as an interior designer and then sit for the National Council of Interior Design Qualification examination.

The faculty in civil, environmental and sustainable engineering offer a graduate program leading to an MS in civil, environmental and sustainable engineering. The program is designed to enhance the knowledge gained in the undergraduate program by requiring students to understand and practice fundamental concepts in engineering, mathematics and the basic sciences.

The pattern of coursework applicable to the degree is potentially unique for each student, although it must conform to the general guidelines for subject matter content for the degree as authorized here and on the program's website. Students are admitted to one of the following specialty areas in engineering: environmental, geotechnical, hydrosystems, structural, sustainable or transportation.

The MS program in sustainability is a research-oriented degree program that culminates with research writing, either a thesis or capstone in the form of a publishable scientific paper.

The program focuses on knowledge generation and investigating potential solutions to sustainability challenges and prepares students for designing and conducting transdisciplinary research. This master's degree program is best-suited to students inclined toward natural sciences, economics, engineering or related quantitative fields, and who are interested in a career in research or academia.

Students learn how different disciplines view and approach the challenges of sustainability in theory, research and practice. They develop the academic and technical skills as well as the ethical insights that help them understand, research and provide solutions to complex sustainability challenges at the local, regional, national and global levels.

All sustainability graduate students understand the need for a transdisciplinary approach to solving sustainability challenges, can communicate their work to professionals in other disciplines and to policymakers and the general public, and have the breadth of vision to incorporate the interconnectedness of social, economic, environmental and technical systems into their research. They have the critical thinking skills necessary for approaching sustainability challenges from a systems perspective; the skills needed to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, and the technical skills required to formulate and solve problems at the appropriate scale.
