==Akademisi==
Universitas Arizona mengajarkan 334 disiplin ilmu yang mengarah pada dianugerahkannya gelar sarjana, pasca-sarjana, doktoral dan pofesional. Departemen dan program akademisi ditata ke dalam berbagai Kolese dan Sekolah. Daftar kolese dan sekolah universitas ini bisa dilihat di http://www.arizona.edu/index/colleges.php.<ref>{{cite web | title= Colleges & Schools | publisher = University of Arizona | url=http://www.arizona.edu/index/colleges.php | accessdate=November 23, 2005}}</ref> Universitas Arizona adalah satu-satunya sekolah dalam Konferensi Pac-10 yang tidak memberikan nilai "plus" atau "minus" untuk kelas-kelasnya. Saat ini, nilai diberikan dalam skala 4-point yang ketat dengan "A" bernilai 4, "B: bernilai 3, "C" bernilai 2, "D" bernilai 1 dan "F" bernilai nol. Di tahun 2004 muncul berbagai diskusi antara mahasiswa dan pengajar yang mungkin membawa UA menggunakan sistem penilaian puls-minus di masa depan.<ref>{{cite web | title=Arizona Summer Wildcat – Making the grade: UA's plus/minus debate – Monday, August 9, 2004 | url=http://wc.arizona.edu/papers/97/160/01_1.html | accessdate=December 13, 2006 }}</ref> Hingga bulan Juli 2010 UA masih menggunakan skala 4-point.

UA is a member of the [[Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy]], a consortium of institutions pursuing research in astronomy. The association operates observatories and [[telescopes]], notably [[Kitt Peak National Observatory]] located just outside of Tucson. UA is a member of the [[Association of American Universities]], and the sole representative from Arizona to this group. Led by Roger Angel, researchers in the [[Steward Observatory]] Mirror Lab at UA are working in concert to build the world's most advanced telescope. Known as the [[Giant Magellan Telescope]], the instrument will produce images 10 times sharper than those from the Earth-orbiting [[Hubble Telescope]]. The telescope is set to be completed in 2016 at a cost of $500 million USD. Researchers from at least nine institutions are working to secure the funding for the project. The telescope will include seven 18-ton mirrors capable of providing clear images of [[volcanoes]] and riverbeds on [[Mars]] and [[mountains]] on the moon at a rate 40 times faster than the world's current large telescopes. The mirrors of the Giant Magellan Telescope will be built at the U of A and transported to a permanent mountaintop site in the [[Chile]]an [[Andes]] where the telescope will be constructed.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/undergrad/classes/fall2005/Lauretta_102-14/SciAZ/GiantMagTel.htm | title=Giant Magellan Telescope | accessdate=2006-07-12}}</ref>
Reaching [[Mars]] in March 2006, the [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]] contained the HiRISE camera, with Primary Investigator is [[scientist]] [[Alfred McEwen]] as the lead on the project. This [[NASA]] mission to Mars carried a UA-designed camera expected to capture the highest-resolution images of the planet ever seen. The journey of the orbiter was 300 million miles. The project is expected to be in its Primary Science Phase in the month of October.<!-- LINK DEAD?http://uanews.opi.arizona.edu/cgi-bin/WebObjects/UANews.woa/1/wa/SRStoryDetails?ArticleID=11437 --> Currently operating on the surface of [[Mars]] is the Lander known as the [[Phoenix (spacecraft)|Phoenix Scout Mission]], led by the U of A Scientist Peter Smith. The mission's purpose is to improve knowledge of the Martian Arctic. After a successful landing on Mars in May 2008, it is the first NASA mission completely controlled by a university. The [[Arizona Radio Observatory]], a part of [[Steward Observatory]], operates the [[ARO 12 m Radio Telescope|12 Meter Telescope]] on [[Kitt Peak]] and the [[Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope|Submillimeter Telescope]] on [[Mount Graham]].
The [[National Science Foundation]] funded the [[iPlant Collaborative]] in 2008.<ref>{{cite news |title= National Science Foundation Awards $50 Million for Collaborative Plant Biology Project to Tackle Greater Science Questions |work= News release |date= January 30, 2008 |publisher= National Science Foundation |url= http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=111048 |accessdate= September 21, 2011 }}</ref>

===Perpustakaan===
[[File:UAmainlibr 1008.jpg|thumb|right|Entrance to the U of A main library]]
In 2005, the [[Association of Research Libraries]], in its "Ranked Lists for Institutions for 2005" (the most recent year available), ranked the UA libraries as the 33rd overall university library in North America (out of 113) based on various statistical measures of quality; this is one rank below the library of [[Duke University]], one rank ahead of that of [[Northwestern University]].<ref>[http://www.arl.org/stats/arlstat/index.html ARL.org]</ref> (both these schools are members, along with the UA, of the [[Association of American Universities]]).
As of 2009, the UA's library system contains over five million print volumes, 600,000 electronic books, and 54,000 electronic journals. The Main Library, opened in 1976, serves as the library system's reference, periodical, and administrative center; most of the main collections and special collections are housed here as well. The Main Library is located on the southeast quadrant of campus near [[McKale Center]] and [[Arizona Stadium]].
In 2002, a $20 million, {{convert|100000|sqft|m2|-4|sing=on}} addition, the Integrated Learning Center (ILC), was completed; it is a home base for first-year students (especially those undecided on a major) which features classrooms, auditoriums, a courtyard with an alcove for vending machines, and a greatly expanded computer lab (the Information Commons) with several dozen [[Gateway, Inc.|Gateway]] and [[Apple Macintosh]] G5 workstations (these computers are available for use by the general public (with some restrictions) as well as by UA students, faculty and staff). Much of the ILC was constructed underground, underneath the east end of the Mall; the ILC connects to the basement floor of the Main Library through the Information Commons. As part of the project, additional new office space for the Library was constructed on the existing fifth floor.
The Science and Engineering Library is in a nearby building from the 1960s that houses volumes and periodicals from those fields. The Music Building (on the northwest quadrant of campus where many of the fine arts disciplines are clustered) houses the Fine Arts Library, including reference collections for architecture, music (including sheet music, recordings and listening stations), and photography. There is a small library at the [[Center for Creative Photography]], also in the fine arts complex, devoted to the art and science of photography. The Law Library is in the law building (James E. Rogers College of Law), located at the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue.
The Arizona Health Sciences Library is located on the Health Sciences Center on the north end of campus and in Phoenix on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. The library serves the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health, the University of Arizona Health Network, and is a resource for health professionals and citizens across the state.
