Master of Real Estate Development

at Kaplan Group - Arizona State University - Tempe Campus USA

The MA program in women and gender studies is designed for students who wish to gain research skills and knowledge about gender analysis and to apply those tools to real-world problems and solutions. The program is designed for those who want a master's degree as a terminal degree.

This flexible, 30 credit hour master's degree program provides advanced training in feminist research, theory and methodologies. All students may take an internship and all must complete an applied project in which students conduct research that addresses practical, site-specific problems linked to gender. Final projects may take a variety of forms, including program assessments, grant proposals, tests of new interventions or curricula, and so on. These projects may help lead students to careers in human services, program evaluation, policy development and other fields.

Full-time students can complete the degree program within two years while part-time students take longer but can combine work with study.

Classics is a transdisciplinary field that includes the study of the literature, art, history and philosophy of the ancient Greeks and Romans, subjects which fueled the Renaissance and have continued to provide an intellectual foundation for innovative and influential people ever since.

ASU's BA program in international letters and cultures with a concentration in classical civilization provides a thorough grounding in the culture and history of the ancient Greeks or Romans while allowing students to satisfy their language requirement. The program begins with two cores: an introduction to ancient Greek and Roman literature (read in English translation) and knowledge of ancient history. With that basis, students are allowed to build a program to meet their needs and interests. Among the variety of topics students pursue are:

• Ancient history, war, politics and economics
• Archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world
• Art and architecture of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans
• Mythology and religious practices of the Greeks and Romans
• Thought of figures such as Plato, Aristotle and Lucretius
• Use of the classics in today's film, books and other media

The big data systems concentration under the MCS degree program is designed for graduate students who want to pursue a thorough education in the area of big data systems.

Students acquire the knowledge, skills and expertise in designing scalable systems (parallel, distributed and real time) that acquire, store, process and access large-scale heterogeneous multisource data, and they learn to use analytical tools to mine information from the data

Graduates are able to choose and deploy the appropriate data management processing and analysis systems with a suitable structured or unstructured data model that a particular task and domain application needs.

Chemical engineering deals with the application of chemistry, physics and mathematics to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. Chemical engineering also involves the design of valuable new materials and chemical products.

The BSE program offered in chemical engineering builds on a broad base of knowledge within the basic and mathematical sciences and engineering and offers excellent career opportunities. Chemical engineers are engaged in the development and production of a diverse range of products, including high-performance materials needed for aerospace, automotive, biomedical, electronic and environmental applications. The modern discipline of chemical engineering is intertwined with biology and biomedical engineering.

The MNS program in physics provides transdisciplinary graduate training in physics, physical science or physics education. The program is especially suited for in-service high school science teachers who desire professional training rather than pursuit of a research-based degree.

Designed for flexibility, the curriculum also features individualized professional graduate programs. These programs are well suited to the backgrounds and goals of students. Students are expected to emphasize coursework in two or more areas of concentration. The program must be transdisciplinary.

The BA program in English with a concentration in writing, rhetorics and literacies teaches students strategies for inquiry.

Students explore the ways in which communication creates knowledge and action. Students study how communication is constructed, circulated, reacted to and repurposed through time and place. Through differing tools of inquiry, students investigate the history, theories and methods of inquiry as well as pragmatic and social actions of rhetoric, writing and literacies.

The MS program in mechanical engineering prepares engineers for doctoral study or industrial positions that specialize in research, project management and product innovation in mechanical engineering.

The program stresses a sound foundation in technical fundamentals, communication and professionalism. To this end, a broad-based curriculum is offered in design, system dynamics and control; fluid mechanics and aerodynamics; mechanics and dynamics of solids and structures; transport phenomena; thermodynamics; and energy.

The BA program in business with a concentration in sports business is attractive to students with an interest in the sports industry.

This concentration provides students with the necessary skills to build knowledge and understanding of the development of the strategic business process in sports organizations and its relationship to media. The program offers a strong focus on applied elements of the sports industry, especially as it relates to media and its impact on the industry.

The proliferation of mass communication (including television, game systems and social networks) has transformed sports into a highly commercialized industry and, in turn, sports continue to generate revenues for these businesses. The interaction between sports and media has led to a multitude of applications of business knowledge to these fields.

Anthropology is the study of human cultural and biological diversity.

This degree is for doers --- those willing to get involved and help make the world a better place. In core and elective courses, the BA program in anthropology allows students to explore problems facing the contemporary world and to suggest solutions to those problems based on a broad understanding of what it means to be human. Working alongside top faculty in ASU research labs, students gain first-hand experience with research design through the apprenticeship program. Students also are offered ample opportunities for international experiences through study abroad programs and field schools. Students learn to think like an anthropologist, to bring a cautious and nuanced view of human interaction that employers value greatly.

The School of Human Evolution and Social Change values interdisciplinarity and also offers a traditional, four-field training with faculty specialties in archaeology, sociocultural anthropology, evolutionary anthropology and linguistics.

Students enrolled in this program may not pursue a concurrent degree with the BS in anthropology or the Bachelor of Arts in global health, but they may add a minor in global health to complement the core curriculum.

The MS in global technology and development is a program in international development that examines social, economic and political development, and is concerned with the global disparity in wealth and access to resources between and among countries around the world.

Global in scope, the program highlights the variables of technology and innovation in these development dynamics with explicit goals to seek equity, justice and ease human suffering. The program offers an interdisciplinary social science curriculum and trains students with diverse undergraduate degrees, backgrounds and experiences.

Students have the opportunity to pursue a customized program to address social, economic and political problems anywhere in the world. Through a wide variety of theoretical, research, policy and special topics courses, students are prepared to finish the degree program with an applied project of their choosing that explores theoretical aspects of global development or applied solutions for impact.
