The Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (BCII) is a unique degree offered in partnership with the University of Technology Sydney. This major can only be pursued in conjunction with another major at the University of Arizona. The BCII program focuses on preparing students to tackle current and future societal challenges through hands-on experience, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary studies. Graduates will acquire essential skills for both immediate entry into the workforce and for further postgraduate education. Students in the BCII program will engage with transdisciplinary core courses, complete an internship, and undertake a capstone project. For students in the Franke Honors College, this capstone can align with their Honors Thesis requirement. The curriculum emphasizes active learning, favoring methods like hackathons, think tanks, and creative labs over traditional lectures and tutorials, encouraging students to innovate and create.
Additional admission criteria apply. Please refer to the W. A. Franke Honors College page for more details. A second-semester proficiency in a second language is required, which can be met through placement exams, specific coursework, AP/IB/CLEP scores, or college-determined methods.
