Bachelor of Science, Engineering in Elementary Education (Educating Multilingual Learners)

at Kaplan Group - Arizona State University - Tempe Campus USA

The BS in chemistry with an environmental chemistry concentration is an interdisciplinary degree program that combines chemistry with environmental sciences courses in geology, mathematics and physics. Students learn to understand the world around them from a molecular perspective and to tackle problems in pollution control and climate change. Students are also prepared for careers in environmental science, control, policy and regulation.

This program prepares students to become scientists and leaders in solving environmental problems and serves as excellent preparation for advanced level study of chemical and environmental sciences in graduate school.

The MS program in computer science with a concentration in arts, media and engineering emphasizes research on the integration of the human physical experience with computation and digital media.

Arts, media and engineering researchers produce experiential media systems and models that assist the disadvantaged, empower creativity, enhance scientific discovery, evolve human ability, facilitate learning and improve quality of life. Within these application areas, researchers explore experiential construction, interaction and feedback, knowledge creation, sensing, perception and modeling.

The purpose of the arts, media and engineering concentration under the master's degree in computer science is to train hybrid engineering-arts graduates who get their inspiration from the arts and their methodology from computer science and engineering. Students specialize in transdisciplinary media development.

Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior. This diverse field includes mental health and counseling as well as child development, neuroscience and brain function, memory and decision-making, behavior analysis, statistics and more. It also crosses over into other disciplines such as medicine, law, business and economics.

This BA program in psychology --- emphasizing critical thinking and reasoning, quantitative research methods and writing --- goes beyond the classroom, adding practical experiences through internships, service-learning and faculty-supervised research. (Some opportunities are not available to students enrolled in the degree offered through ASU Online.)

Graduates are prepared for graduate programs in psychology or other areas as well as for professional employment.

The BA program in communication is a broad-based program that trains individuals to speak and write competently, manage relationships well, problem-solve effectively and understand the role and function of communication in public forums, organizational settings, relational exchanges and intercultural situations.

The curriculum provides an extensive understanding of the practical, theoretical and professional distinctions of today's field of communication. Utilizing the nationally recognized CommLabASU, students perform in-depth study of what contributes to and detracts from effective human communication, recognizing that the art of communication is far more nuanced than simple speaking and writing prowess.

Students may pursue one or more focus areas that are designed to amplify their academic and professional preparation in specific contexts.

Architects design buildings and environments that are useful, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing. This implies an understanding of people's needs, the science and technology of building and the concepts of aesthetics.

The faculty in The Design School offer a BSD program in architectural studies. In addition to developing knowledge and skills in architectural thinking, building technology, history and theory and professional practice, students are encouraged to select electives from a broad range of approved courses within the institute and across the university. These electives may be selected to devise a minor, to further professional study or to enrich the student's academic experience in some other fashion.

This is an eight-semester program requiring sequential completion of studio coursework or approved equivalent at any point of entry.

The BS program in business entrepreneurship prepares students to identify, evaluate and develop entrepreneurial opportunities in existing companies or through new ventures.

The program emphasizes collaboration, leadership, communication and team-building as well as development of refined analytical, managerial and leadership skills appropriate for people who want to change the world through innovation. Students in the program frequently collaborate with students from across the university for a breadth of understanding in all business disciplines and a depth of understanding in opportunity recognition, feasibility, management of resources and strategy.

Students completing the program understand the unique requirements of an entrepreneur and have learned how to effectively identify market opportunities, innovative solutions and execution strategies

Geographers have a unique spatial perspective in understanding the world, from global to local, through the twin lenses of space and place.

Students in the BS program in geography learn about natural features of the world, including landforms, plants, water and weather, as well as the impact humans have on the world. This degree program also emphasizes social science or environmental science dynamics involving economic patterns, human populations and transportation.

The BA program in Russian offers students a unique opportunity to study the language, literature and culture of Russia. Students in the program gain intermediate to advanced reading, writing, and oral and aural Russian language skills.

The Russian language program also partners with the Melikian Center to offer a transdisciplinary baccalaureate certificate in Russian, Eurasian and East European Studies for students in agribusiness, anthropology, architecture, economics, geography, history, political science, religious studies, Russian, sociology and women's studies.

Arizona State University's MS in management, offered by the W. P. Carey School of Business, is an innovative business degree program providing new liberal arts, science, engineering and other nonbusiness graduates with the intellectual and professional skills needed to succeed in today's business environment. This one-year program is designed to develop critical thinking skills, as applied to fundamental business procedures and processes, and leadership skills.

Designed for graduates of nonbusiness programs with fewer than two years of work experience, students achieve the capability and motivation to rapidly progress in any profession where business plays an important role. The management program differs substantially from a traditional MBA program in that no work experience is required for admission and the coursework is completed in one year, giving a broad overview of the essentials of managerial decision-making.

Three distinct components of the Master of Science program in management prepare students to immediately add value and lead in all types of business environments: core business courses that deliver necessary business skills through integrative cases, project-based learning and teamwork; leadership courses that develop understanding of strategic vision, instituting change, information systems, and the role and importance of sustainability; and a culminating experience that bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world business application.

Where do sustainable engineering and renewable energy production meet? How can you apply your technical engineering skills to creating solutions for complex energy systems? Learn to demonstrate real-world, proven capabilities and interdisciplinary thinking by mastering skills related to creation, storage and use of renewable energy.

This MS program in modern energy production and sustainable use prepares students for professional careers in transdisciplinary areas of renewable energy generation and storage, energy-saving materials, manufacturing, sustainable transportation, and related fields in industry, government, and educational institutions.

Students are provided with the skills and knowledge needed to address the challenges associated with the different modalities in energy production and storage, and they are encouraged to work with instructors in the program who are conducting research.
