Topics include time value of money, measures of risk, models for pricing bonds and stocks, financial analysis, capital structure, cost of capital, capital budgeting, and working capital management. Students are introduced to financial problem-solving using Microsoft Excel.
Prerequisite: Take AC 221

An interdisciplinary study of the management of organizations and decision making, utilizing behavioral and quantitative approaches. Topics include decision-making, motivation and behavior, leadership, group behavior, organizational change, planning, control, and allocation of resources. These topics are addressed against a backdrop of management responses to issues of ethics, social responsibility, and globalization. Lecture and case-study format.

This is a survey course. The objective of this class is to learn to apply legal and ethical principles to managerial-related problems. The course provides a general study of areas of laws pertinent to business, including tort law, contract law, employment law, criminal law, and constitutional law. The student is expected to learn to identify legal issues and consider the ethical implications of his or her solution or decision.

Negotiation is the art and science of securing agreements between two or more interdependent parties. Hence, the purpose of this course is to develop an understanding of the psychological and strategic dynamics of negotiation. The course is grounded in the major concepts and theories of bargaining, negotiation, and mediation and is designed to use a combination of simulations and analysis to build your own personal experience in the classroom and in the real world.

Investigates the components of the marketing mix. A managerial approach is employed and case studies supplement each area of exploration. Topics include customer behavior, product policy, channels of distribution, advertising and promotion, price policy, marketing programs, and the legal aspects of marketing.

This course focuses on the GIS principles, methods, and techniques that are particularly relevant to and useful for problem solving in environmental analysis and management. Specfically this course has four major components: an overview of selected GIS principles including data models,scale and spatial sampling, and spatial autocorrelation; a review of the major techniques or issues for environmental data acquisition and integration; an introduction to environmental analysis and modeling techniques; and a discussion of several applied areas of environmental modeling techniques as related to coastal ecology, hydrology, natural hazards, natural resources management, and environmental planning.
Prerequisite: Take MA-140 or MA-151

This is an introduction to Statistics and Probability for Computer Science and Engineering. In this course, you will learn all the theories, concepts and applications of Statistics and Probability; from organizing and presenting data, sampling, testing hypotheses, confidence intervals and regression to probability theories, random variables and distributions.
Prerequisite: Take MA-151

This course introduces microeconomic concepts such as supply and demand analysis, theories of the firm and individual behavior, competition and monopoly, welfare analysis, and labor market.
