Arizona State University’s Nicholas A. Cummings Doctor of Behavioral Health Program (DBH) prepares the master’s–level clinician or healthcare manager for the newly transformed medical care marketplace, one in which evidence–based, cost–effective behavioral interventions replace treatment that results in undercare, overcare or misuse.
Why is this transformation occurring, and how does it affect those seeking careers in behavioral health? Experts agree that behavioral modification can play a significant role in improving patient health while reducing medical costs. As a result, there is a growing demand for professionals with a behavioral health degree–master’s–level clinicians and managers who have a deep understanding of the primary care environment, evidence–based intervention, healthcare policy and financing, best business practices and more.

Arizona State University, in partnership with integrated behavioral care pioneer Nicholas A. Cummings, now offers this highly specialized behavioral health program—a Doctor of Behavioral Health—entirely online. It is available in two curriculum tracks: a clinical track and a management track. Both options are cohort based, 54 credit hour program with courses offered in 7.5 week terms.

The faculty at Arizona State University receives international acclaim, and has significant expertise and experience in behavioral health education. They blend evidence–based behavioral interventions, medical literacy, health systems, and entrepreneurship instruction in order to meet the needs of the reform–driven marketplace. Faculty strive to immerse students in collaborative relationships and graduate clinicians who will deliver and document interventions that produce clinical and functional improvement, patient and provider satisfaction, and cost savings by decreasing overuse of medical resources and lost productivity to employers.

The Johns Hopkins Master of Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship program is intended for biotechnology professionals who want a career beyond the laboratory within an existing biotechnology organization or for those who dream of starting a new biotechnology enterprise. The curriculum will provide you with the interdisciplinary foundation to address the enterprise and regulatory challenges organizations face in the biotechnology industry.

You’ll complete 10 graduate courses, including a final practicum course to gain real-world experience. You may choose three electives across a broad range of science, enterprise and regulatory courses. You can also complete a concentration in legal/regulatory affairs.

As a graduate, you’ll have the expertise to:

- Formulate strategies that reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the biotechnology industry in the areas of science, regulation and enterprise.

- Develop and carry out appropriate leadership strategies to achieve company goals and objectives.

- Create financial and funding strategies for success under
various economic situations.

- Demonstrate principles of human interrelationships to research, design and development activities, with emphasis upon principles of communication.

- Navigate the various steps in the development of a biotechnology derived product: from its inception as intellectual property, to scale-up, to the final product.

- Create marketing strategies that achieve organizational goals and objectives.

- Formulate product launch strategies in the US and internationally that reflect changes in the regulation of the product approval and marketing process.

- Solve organizational problems arising from a legal and technology framework.

- Identify, evaluate and assess risks and payoffs in monetary and non-monetary terms.

Beautiful architecture. Solid structure. What else do buildings need?

Try living in one without any heating, cooling, electrical power, lighting, water or drainage. What would it be like to work in a tower without lifts? How would you manage without telephones, an IT system or an internet connection? All of these systems and many more are designed by building services engineers. Building Service Engineers turn buildings from empty shells into spaces fit for people to use.

From the very start of the building design, Building Services Engineers are involved helping architects and other members of the design team to get the size, shape and configuration of the building right. They determine strategies for designing energy efficient buildings, making them sustainable in the long term. Buildings are responsible for a large chunk of carbon emissions so this work makes a critical contribution to reducing a building's impact on climate change.

Of all the disciplines working in the built environment today, the building services engineer has the broadest reach and the deepest impact, affecting virtually every aspect of building design. In short, they make buildings work.

This Masters course provides a broad basis of advanced understanding in the technological areas of building services and energy engineering, with particular emphasis on those areas that are relevant to the interaction between the built and natural environments, modern industry, and the analysis of developing technologies

Entry Requirements

The course is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in mechanical, electrical or chemical engineering, or other relevant engineering disciplines, and seek to develop specialised skills in building services engineering to enter this industry.

A BEng (Hons) degree in an appropriate discipline. Normally upper second class would be considered a minimum, but lower class may be acceptable depending on experience.
Cognate degrees in appropriate disciplines (e.g. physics, chemistry or mathematics) will be accepted provided the candidate demonstrates some knowledge of building services engineering.
Other qualifications may be accepted depending on age and experience. This category would normally be reserved for mature candidates who have had several years experience in the building services industry.
For applicants whose first language is not English, an IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent is required.
