The MS program in organizational leadership offers a theoretically and methodologically rigorous approach to studying and creating use-inspired research needed to impact organizational leadership.

Students explore areas such as organizational dynamics, institutional evolution, strategic change, leading diverse teams, collaborative governance, conflict mediation, critical problem-solving and leadership assessment, and they learn advanced methodological and statistical skills.

The program places special emphasis on learning best practices and other applied aspects of leading organizations. Students tailor their degree to their interests through a vast array of leadership elective courses. In consultation with a faculty advisor, students choose from many different elective courses, such as not-for-profit leadership and intercultural leadership.

Counseling and applied psychological science is a specialty in promoting psychological well-being. Counselors and applied psychologists provide the tools and resources necessary for individuals, families and organizations to cope with everyday problems.

The BS program in counseling and applied psychological science provides foundational training in counseling theories, addictions, trauma, lifespan development, group counseling and professional ethics. A unique aspect of the program is its attention to cultural diversity, which focuses on age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion and socioeconomic status.

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 robotics concentration of the Bachelor of Science in engineering program build a broad engineering foundation to which they add the skills and knowledge necessary to contribute robotics subject matter expertise in transdisciplinary engineering teams. This expertise includes electromechanical systems, sensor and actuator integration, embedded digital systems application, and design and analysis of dynamic systems. The robotics curriculum also provides significant hands-on experience designing and implementing robotics systems to meet the needs of users.

Do you want to be in a profession that values your imagination? Maybe you want to advance your teaching career or ready yourself for doctoral studies. Prepare now, here, through transdisciplinary inquiry.

The MA in narrative studies is a comprehensive program that explores narrative and storytelling across a range of cultures and historical periods.

With curriculum emphasis on teaching and research, students study the structural, social, cultural, rhetorical and historical aspects of narrative and storytelling in texts, film and other media.

Graduates are primed for critical and eloquent engagement with the world beyond the university.

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.

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 purpose of the concentration in preveterinary medicine in the BS program in applied biological sciences is to prepare undergraduate students to successfully complete the admission requirements for the pursuit of an advanced degree in veterinary medicine.

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 W. P. Carey BS program in management prepares students to become effective managers and team leaders. Students gain theoretical and conceptual knowledge and build critical skills such as:

• Analytical research and problem-solving
• Communication
• Critical thinking
• Global applications
• Leadership
