Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science with Emphasis in Cognition

at INTO Group- The University of Arizona USA

A focus on applied mathematics prepares you to enter the job market with an undergraduate degree or to attend graduate school for science or engineering. Applied mathematicians use mathematical models to solve complex problems. Students earning a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with an Applied Mathematics emphasis engage in interdisciplinary study with core mathematics courses and a minor that is independent of the Department of Mathematics. They master a variety of mathematical problem-solving methods. Upon graduation, students are primed to apply their quantitative and computational knowledge and logical thinking skills across industries like engineering, technology, natural science, manufacturing, business and government. Others choose to further their education in science or engineering graduate studies, taking on challenging research projects.

Fascinated by the connection between the meaning of art and the work itself? Learn how to communicate through art with a course of study that sharpens your technical ability while defining your concepts. The 2D emphasis in the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art asks students to specialize in one of two areas: Painting & Drawing, or Printmaking. Students develop skills in their specialization through courses that advance contemporary and historical awareness of the discipline. Faculty members from Painting, Drawing and Printmaking are committed to interdisciplinary approaches. Students enjoy printmaking facilities offering traditional and technologically based processes, and can use oil, acrylic and dry media in the painting and drawing facilities. Elective courses provide students with a chance to explore subjects inside and outside their areas of emphasis, such as collage, installation and watercolor.

Learning Outcomes

• Context; Students will demonstrate an in-depth comprehension of art history, contemporary practice, and theory¿understanding how they inform and influence their artistic practice.
• Concept; Students will develop a portfolio that demonstrates the ability to utilize critical inquiry and research to develop meaningful and innovative content in their work.
• Process; Students will develop a portfolio that demonstrates facility with, and command of their chosen tools and materials as well as the formal properties that underlie their use. They will also demonstrate an understanding of how concept informs choices with respect to tools and materials.
• Integration; Students will demonstrate the emergence of a personal voice and visual style/approach in their work.
• Professional Practice; Students will demonstrate knowledge of the steps and elements required to embark on the pursuit of a successful career (in and/or out of the arts) after graduation.

Using biological principles, unearth the mysteries of ecology to help build a sustainable future - for nature and for society. The Biosphere emphasis of the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science explores the interactions of microbes, plants, animals and humans with their physical and chemical environment. Students learn how to apply biological principles to biodiversity while gaining a broad understanding of habitat conservation, restoration and rehabilitation. Field experience tailored to students' interests arms them with the expertise, confidence and connections to critically evaluate and address sustainable management and remediation of the environment. The curriculum prepares students to solve environmental and human health challenges in this time of rapid ecological change.

Our planet is more than meets the eye. Explore Earth from its origin and history to its components and how they interact with each other. Students who select the Bachelor of Science in Geosciences with a Geology emphasis take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the planet. In this top-ranked program, students learn scientific research skills; gain experience working with data and technology in the field and in the laboratory; and study the Earth's origin and history, as well as the planet's components and how they interact with one another. Geology students participate in a Capstone Summer Field Camp in the later part of their program that provides hands-on experience applying their content knowledge in the field. Graduates pursue careers in research, energy, mineral resources, academia and more.

Pursue the answers to life's big questions with a degree that teaches you not what to think but how to think. Philosophy is the study of knowledge, reality and existence. The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with the Ethics emphasis trains students to approach philosophical exploration with the rigor of analytic thinking, which goes beyond casual discussions based on opinion. Philosophy majors critically examine questions such as, ""How can I know for sure if what I believe is true?"" ""What sort of society is best?"" or ""Is morality whatever society says it is?"" In scrutinizing potential answers, students hone the skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, conceptual analysis and argumentation. Students learn how to look at the big picture, stay open-minded and always seek truth.

Feed the world. Protect the future. And be the leader who will create solutions to global priorities within the food sector. The Bachelor of Science in Food Safety is housed within the School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences and looks at how food science, regulation and law pertain to public and ecosystem health and sustainability. Projections estimate the food sector will need to safely produce, package and distribute sustenance for 9 billion people by 2050. That challenge requires innovation and collaboration as governments and businesses look to leaders who understand the opportunities and constraints in this complex industry. This interdisciplinary program trains students to become those leaders.

Are you driven to continue to create and to express yourself through the art of dance? Join kindred spirits in the University of Arizona's dance program, rated among the top five in the country. The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance is a professional degree that provides students with technical training and performance experience. The program's triple-track design means students can study ballet, modern and jazz with equal emphasis. Students approach the study of dance as an art form and also as a means to understand society, history, the human body and other areas of scholarly endeavor.
