Master of Science in Computer Science - Art, Media and Engineering (STEM)

at Kaplan Group - Arizona State University - Tempe Campus USA

The mission of the 60 credit hour program is to prepare students to become licensed professional counselors in Arizona and other states with comparable licensure requirements.

With its strong focus on multicultural counseling across the lifespan, students in the Master of Counseling program learn to promote the health of individuals, families, groups and organizations in a diverse society.

Faculty research and clinical foci include:

• advocacy
• children and adolescents
• counseling process and outcome
• couple and family relationships
• crisis assessment
• culturally responsive treatment
• mental health disparities
• nonbinary stress and resilience
• play therapy

The program instills in students the importance of research in advancing the counseling profession. The crucial link between science and practice is evident in the three complementary functions of the program's state-of-the-art Counselor Training Center: clinical service provision, high-quality training, and innovative process and outcome research.

The Master of Counseling program has endorsed the American Counseling Association's Code of Ethics and the following American Counseling Association competencies: ALGBTIC Competencies for Counseling LGBQIQA Individuals (2012), Competencies for Counseling the Multiracial Population (2015), Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (2015), Competencies for Addressing Spiritual and Religious Issues in Counseling (2009) and Multicultural Career Counseling Competencies (2009).

The BFA in art with a concentration in printmaking provides a complete studio experience with regular courses in book arts, digital processes, intaglio, lithography, papermaking, photogravure, relief, screenprint and other graphic applications.

Faculty teach in spacious, well-equipped studios that offer a complete range of print media. While individual students are encouraged to pursue a personal direction, the faculty encourage students to become well-rounded printmakers by experiencing and understanding many media processes and approaches. No style, technique or aesthetic approach is stressed over another, so the individual quality of each student's work is the essential measure of achievement. Collaboration, experimentation and transdisciplinary approaches to making art are encouraged, and students often work with other areas in the School of Art, such as photography, intermedia, painting, drawing and sculpture.

Actuarial science students learn to use tools from mathematics, statistics and finance to measure the impact of risk in order to improve forecasting and decision-making in business, insurance and government sectors.

The BS degree program in actuarial science provides students with the preparation necessary for the required professional actuarial credentialing exams offered by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society.

The faculty in religious studies offer a graduate program leading to the MA in religious studies.

Candidates are offered an opportunity to develop knowledge of various religious traditions in their historical and cultural contexts and to learn research methods. Although students often concentrate upon a single religious tradition for their thesis work, the program provides a broadly comparative understanding of religions, not simply a specialist's training in a single tradition.

The School of Arts, Media and Engineering educates the next generation of learners and empowers them with technofluency --- its development, application and implications. The School of Arts, Media and Engineering prepares students to be socially aware, critically thinking global citizens who strive to bring about positive change in a society that will be increasingly shaped by new technologies.

The BA program in digital culture equips students with the knowledge, abilities and technical skills they need for creating computational media.

Students learn to create computational media, computation combined with objects, sound, video, time, space, culture and bodies; to breathe behavior into media, objects or systems by programming; and to think critically about how computation impacts lives and how culture makes a difference in how people experience computational media, a critical skill in this dynamic age.

Armed with skills and judgment, graduates work in cultural communication, marketing, design, social media, health, education, entertainment and creative arts, and all areas in which culture is shaped by technology and computational media. All students gain techniques to change the world and communicate using contemporary computational media, a vital power in the 21st century. Some go on to invent fresh techniques.

Digital Culture - Graphic Information Technology concentration

This digital culture program with a concentration in graphic information technology is offered in partnership with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Students complement their knowledge of new media with technology and new media entrepreneurship skills, knowledge of legal and ethical issues for technology, and additional skills in graphic communication, digital illustration and design methodology.

Students should be advised that while most requirements can be completed at the Tempe campus, courses specific to this concentration take place on the Polytechnic campus.

Work closely with expert faculty as you explore intersections of literature and culture or linguistics across the Spanish-speaking world, and become a global citizen prepared for countless career options.

The MA program in Spanish includes tracks in literature and culture and in linguistics. While the former includes Spanish, Spanish American and Mexican American literature and culture, the latter includes sociolinguistics or second language acquisition and applied linguistics.

The MA program in museum studies examines how museums produce and reflect culture and examines the role museums play worldwide. Students develop theoretical questions and applied skills that engage the functions, practices and critical analyses of museums. They also gain practical experience while being encouraged to challenge preconceived notions about museums and the way museums affect and are affected by societies and cultures. Designed to be use-inspired, socially embedded and transcultural, the program ensures that students understand the meaning and significance of museums in contemporary society and prepares them for diverse museum careers.

The MS program in molecular and cellular biology focuses on the fundamental molecular events at the core of all life. It encourages interdisciplinary, innovative, world-class research, allowing students to choose from a diverse range of research and training opportunities that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of biological research.

The economics program requires students to have a strong core of economic theory, supplemented by mathematics and data analysis.

Students in this W. P. Carey BS program in economics choose from a variety of electives offered by the Department of Economics or many other ASU departments. All students are encouraged to develop programs of study tailored to individual needs and interests. The undergraduate program provides students with the critical thinking and communication skills needed to succeed in business or graduate school. The program of study can also be tailored to prepare students for graduate programs in economics, business or law. Students interested in pursuing a doctorate in economics are strongly encouraged to minor or major in mathematics as well.

The department's mission is to provide the highest quality instruction to students, conduct cutting-edge research in economics and provide leadership and service to professional communities.

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