Africana Studies - English Literature Joint Major

Study mode: Full Time |

The joint major offers an especially coherent experience in interdisciplinary learning by bringing together Africana studies and English literature in two interrelated ways. Students get a rich and rigorous exposure to African and African Diaspora literature written in English through literature produced in the United States, Africa, Canada, Great Britain, and the Caribbean. Additionally, students examine some of the significant relationships between African and African Diaspora works and a range of English language literary traditions. The major is designed to expose students to important questions and traditions in literary interpretation and to offer them political, social, and cultural contexts for the literature they will be reading. Like most liberal arts majors, it helps students learn to think analytically and to make and assess arguments, skills that are important in many jobs and courses of graduate study.

B.A. in History of Art and Architecture - Secondary Major

Study mode: Full Time |

In this program, as students learn to look, read, and write critically, they are also introduced to the ways in which the arts and images of the past and present shape an individual sense of self and cultural identity. The history of image and monument making is a history of cultural "interconnectedness" between sacred and secular, elite and popular, dominant and marginal. Students who are double majoring (those who wish to combine a major in HAA with a major in another academic department) may elect to complete the standard major or the secondary major option.

B.A. in History of Art and Architecture - Standard Major

Study mode: Full Time |

In this program, as students learn to look, read, and write critically, they are also introduced to the ways in which the arts and images of the past and present shape an individual sense of self and cultural identity. The standard major will provide students with knowledge of the major periods of the history of art and with critical skills appropriate to an undergraduate major in HAA. Students who are only majoring in HAA must complete the standard major.

B.S. in Bioinformatics

Study mode: Full Time |

Bioinformatics is the theory, application and development of computing tools to solve problems and create hypotheses in all areas of biological sciences. Biology in the post-genome world has been and continues to be transformed from a largely laboratory-based science to one that integrates experimental and information science. Bioinformatics has contributed to advances in biology by providing tools that handle datasets too large and/or complex for manual analysis. Examples of some of these tools include assembling the DNA sequence of entire genomes, gene finding algorithms, microarray expression analysis, molecular systems modeling, and biomarker discovery from mass spectra. Computational tools are central to the organization, analysis and harvesting of biological data at the level of macromolecules, cells and systems. Consequently, there is a growing need for trained professionals who understand the languages of biology and computer science. Biologists trained in more traditional programs may not have a working knowledge of statistics and algorithms, whereas computer scientists trained in more traditional programs may not have a working knowledge of the chemistry and biology required in the field. The Undergraduate Bioinformatics Degree Program at the University of Pittsburgh, which is operated jointly by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Computer Science, program offers training that builds a solid foundation in chemistry, biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics. This training will enable students to communicate fluently with experts across these disciplines, and to have the skills necessary to apply computing tools to address contemporary problems in biology and medicine. The training will enhance the professional opportunities for undergraduates to pursue careers in pure or applied research in academia, government, pharmaceutical, medical, or biotechnology sectors.
