The concentration curriculum emphasizes a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, animal science and mathematics while offering specialized courses in veterinary medicine and opportunities for placement in internships in the field.

The BA program in the history of science, ideas and innovation provides students with a grounding in the social and intellectual issues central to understanding the role of science, technology and ideas from past to present.

This transdisciplinary degree program encourages students to combine coursework in the natural and applied sciences with historical and philosophical approaches to social knowledge. Students majoring or minoring in the history of science, ideas and innovation program graduate with a foundation for advanced work either in the humanities, the sciences or in transdisciplinary fields bridging written and technical work.

The air transportation management concentration of the BS program in aeronautical management technology provides students with a strong foundation of aviation concepts, including airline administration, airport planning, aviation law, policy and human factors as well as technical knowledge focusing on power plants, structures and aerodynamics. Students progress into courses on the business and management and operational aspects of aviation such as airline administration and airport planning. All students finish the program by participating in an internship within industry and completion of a capstone project.

This program prepares students for leadership positions within airlines, airports, government, consulting and entrepreneurial enterprises.

The Aviation Accreditation Board International accredits this program.

This is an advanced degree that emphasizes competency in the rapidly growing fields of robotics and autonomous systems and with applications in biomedical engineering and medicine.

The biomedical engineering concentration is one of five concentrations in the multidisciplinary MS program in robotics and autonomous systems, which emphasizes robotics, controls, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and related fields. This concentration is appropriate for students who wish to focus on applications in biomedical engineering.

Biomedical engineers work at the interface of technology and medicine on challenges that are critical to the advancement of health and scientific discovery.

The core curriculum provides students with the intellectual tools to integrate their concentration areas, engage in transdisciplinary problem-solving and prepare for careers and graduate programs that increasingly cross disciplinary boundaries. An interdisciplinary studies student could choose to integrate concentrations like business and project management, psychology and social welfare, communication and justice studies, public administration and ethics, digital culture and computer gaming or many other unique combinations.

Interdisciplinary studies is an approach to answering questions, solving problems and addressing contemporary social issues from multiple perspectives. Interdisciplinary studies students take an active role in designing their educational plans and defining their career goals. The degree emphasizes written communication, versatility, self-assessment and critical thinking --- essential skills for today's dynamic world.

The BA program in organizational leadership with a concentration in project management offers theoretically and skills-driven curriculum to prepare students to be excellent project managers and project management leaders.

Students learn to integrate leadership theory and practice in organizational leadership courses. They learn the skills and knowledge that leaders need to lead diverse teams, innovate, solve problems, communicate effectively, assess leadership and organizational effectiveness, manage resources and use emerging technologies in organizations. Students also acquire the skills necessary to manage complex projects: project leadership, project quality management, project risk management, project schedule management, project cost management and project resource management.

The BA program in organizational leadership uses transdisciplinary methods that prepare students to become leaders in organizations. Students develop the skills and knowledge that leaders need to solve problems, communicate effectively, assess programs, manage resources and use emerging technologies in organizations.

Graduates are prepared for a range of positions in the public and private sectors, including in government, health care administration, nonprofit agencies, businesses and the service industry.

Students interested in completing the Bachelor of Arts program in the Gila Valley, Pinal County, Cochise County, Pima County, Yavapai County or Yuma are encouraged to complete a MyPath2ASU program. Students should see admission requirements below.

The ABET-accredited BSE program in engineering prepares graduates to collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to real-world problems. In the program, students apply fundamental engineering knowledge and design thinking to real projects every semester.

Students in the automotive systems concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program first build a broad engineering foundation to which they add the skills and knowledge necessary for vehicle design and testing. The curriculum focuses on automotive engineering fundamentals, including powertrain engineering and chassis system design as well as hands-on projects that involve designing, analyzing and building actual automotive systems.

Graduates of this concentration are able to provide leadership in automotive engineering settings, especially in automotive

The BAE program in elementary education with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics --- STEM --- has coursework designed for students looking to advance their skills in STEM disciplines and wishing to learn techniques to effectively engage K-12 learners in the 21st century. The coursework informs educators how to equip learners with the specialized STEM knowledge they need to solve challenging problems and apply critical thinking skills. The STEM program offers students a firm grounding in the language, current research and best practices in STEM education accompanied by professional experiences.

The teacher certification program for elementary education with an emphasis in STEM is clinically embedded during both the junior and senior years. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College students complete internships during their junior year and a full time, year-long apprenticeship, known as their senior year residency, in K-8 classrooms. Coursework is designed to support the development of instructional competencies, professional skills and content knowledge. Coursework is complemented by professional experiences, which provide interns and teacher candidates opportunities to apply and reflect upon their knowledge and skills in teaming and collaborative models. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College faculty and highly qualified lead teachers from partner school districts and charter schools work in collaboration to support professional growth aligned to each student's personal goals. Additionally, these professional experiences provide students an opportunity to work directly with children and make an immediate impact on student achievement. This intensive, hands-on model of teacher preparation creates highly sought-after graduates and is unmatched in Arizona.
