  **2009 TASP FIELDS OF STUDY**

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

[**American Studies**:]{.underline} American Studies students will learn
about American literature, arts, history, politics and culture. In the
process, they will acquire the critical thinking skills to analyze the
material and intellectual character of all societies. The skills gained
will be applicable to a wide range of problems and thus prepare
graduates to assume roles in academic, business or public life.

**[Business Administration]{.underline}**: The AUCA Undergraduate
Business Program is designed to provide students with outstanding
intellectual and practical skills for lifelong achievement. The Business
Program prepares students to have a broad understanding of the larger
social and cultural context within which business must function.
Following the first two years of general education study, students will
be required to complete a demanding sequence of courses known as the
Business Core.

**[Cultural Anthropology]{.underline}**: Students receive comprehensive
training in the fields of cultural anthropology and archaeology.
 Anthropology is the study of human thinking, activity and communication
in its social, ecological, biological, and psychological contexts. There
are four fields of anthropology: linguistic, biological, cultural, and
archeology.  The field is closely connected to the fields of economics,
politics, sociology, psychology.

**[Economics:]{.underline}** The general purpose of the Economics
Department is to assist economic reforms in Central Asia by training
professionals in modern economics. The department provides students with
analysis and forecasting tools of real economic processes, teaches them
to work with statistics and economic models, and gives them a common
language with the world community of professional economists. The
students of the Economics department acquire a serious fundamental
training in the area of modern economics.

**[European Studies]{.underline}**: The purpose of the Bachelor of Arts
program in European Studies is to provide the region with multilingual
specialists in European affairs. Graduates will be fluent in two
languages and have a broad background in European politics, economics,
social life, culture, etc.

**[International Comparative Politics]{.underline}**: Our students are
trained to be creative, think independently, and contribute to the
society in which they live. The training focuses on international
relations, comparative politics and political philosophy. We do not
train students specifically for the diplomatic service or to be
practicing politicians. On the contrary, our underlying philosophy is
that our graduates have been trained to be discerning, participating
democratic citizens, able to function effectively in an international
setting.

**[Journalism]{.underline}**: Graduates of the program are in high
demand by local media and international organizations. Graduates work as
journalists and staff writers, public relations and advertising
specialists, publication editors, and reporters. The department offers
specializations in public relations, advertising, media studies, mass
culture and communication studies, print and electronic journalism. 

**[Law]{.underline}**: The Law Department prepares lawyers in commercial
and international law. Students will study both general education and
juridical disciplines. Students are encouraged to study English and
another foreign language as this will help the university graduates work
with foreign companies and use international documents and other sources
in the original languages. Students are required to work at a free legal
aid clinic which will help them to gain professional skills.

**[Psychology]{.underline}**: Psychology is the science of mental
processes and behavior. To study psychology is to try to understand how
people think, feel, learn, behave, and interact with others. As a
behavioral science, Psychology is oriented to applied realization of
obtaining knowledge. The Psychology program offers professional training
in different applied tracks: Counseling Psychology,
Organizational/Industrial Psychology, and General/Individualized track.

**[Sociology]{.underline}**: The Sociology program at AUCA provides
students with a solid foundation in sociological research and theory,
and prepares graduates for work in a variety of academic and
professional careers. Sociology -- the systematic inquiry and study of
human social life -- offers a unique perspective for understanding
modern and historical issues, social structures and interpersonal
interactions, and social stability and processes of transformation.

**[Software Engineering]{.underline}**: Software Engineering students
will acquire knowledge of programming and programming systems, their
mathematical and algorithmic models; methods of design and
implementation, and software engineering.  Upon completion of the
degree, students will be prepared for both the scientific/research and
industrial/commercial fields. Students will receive practical experience
through an internship and by completing a senior programming project.
