  • KIN 244 - Lifeguard Training

    Credits: 2

    ARC certification in lifeguarding.

    Prerequisite(s): Swim 300 yards continuously, using these strokes in the following order: 100 yards of front crawl using rhythmic breathing and a stabilizing, propellant kick; rhythmic breathing can be performed either by breathing to the side or to the front; 100 yards of breaststroke; 100 yards of either front crawl using rhythmic breathing or breaststroke or a mixture of front crawl and breaststroke. Swim 20 yards using front crawl or breaststroke, surface dive to a depth of seven-10 feet, retrieve a 10-pound object, return to the surface, and swim 20 yards back to the starting point with the object and exit the water without using a ladder or steps, within one minute, 40 seconds. When returning to the starting point, the participant’s face must remain above the water and the participant must hold the 10-pound object with both hands.

  • MNGT 354 - Strategic Entrepreneurship

    Credits: 3

    Students in this course will bridge the gap between entrepreneurial thought and practice by focusing on activities that must be carried out by a company within the framework of strategic entrepreneurship.  This framework highlights the activities that create, deliver, and capture value for an enterprise.  The course is designed to immerse students actively in the strategic entrepreneurial process with the objectives to reinforce and develop divergent thinking, analytical thinking, and communication skills.  This course will develop skills associated with opportunity recognition (convergent and divergent thinking) and feasibility analysis (market and financial analysis), and extend these to the development and communication of a business model in an atmosphere that is based on team collaboration and coaching.

    Prerequisite(s): MNGT 352 , MNGT 353  for non-business majors; junior standing for business majors.

    Term(s) Offered: Fall, Spring

  • MNGT 452 - Policy Formulation and Implementation

    Credits: 3

    This capstone course requires students to develop interdisciplinary solutions for addressing contemporary business problems. In addition to integrating the major fields of business (accounting, finance, marketing, management, computer information systems), this course requires students to address a variety of different topics, such as social issues, diversity, environmental concerns, global/cultural differences, ethics, economics, critical thinking, problem identification, problem solving, communication skills, quantitative analysis, technology, current events, and politics. Through the use of cases, presentations, written projects, class discussions, lectures, and current periodicals, students are exposed to the complexities of conducting business in a changing world.

  • MKTG 355 - Interactive Marketing

    Credits: 3

    This course focuses on the integration of state-of-the-art interactive technologies into the design and implementation of marketing programs for the new millennium. The functions of market identification through customer analysis, and the planning and implementation of conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to satisfy the market benefit immensely from the capabilities of the rapidly developing information technology (IT) infrastructure. The course also includes introduction into different techniques for differentiating products and services and developing systems to focus on the market niche, establishing interactive links to customers, retrieving online information from customers, and using data mining for market research.

    Prerequisite(s): MKTG 201  or MKTG 305 .

  • MATH 103 - Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I

    Credits: 3

    This course is the first course in a two-course sequence designed to enhance the conceptual understanding and processes of the common content in elementary mathematics curricula. Topics include problem solving, counting, the structure of the decimal system and procedural and conceptual understanding of the four basic operations on whole numbers, decimals and fractions. The use of manipulatives and technology will support learning and teaching in these and other topics studied. Enrollment is only open to students seeking a degree in elementary education or a related degree.

    Prerequisite(s): C or better in MATH 100  or satisfactory placement score.

    Term(s) Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer

  • MATH 107 - Fundamentals of Mathematics for Nursing

    Credits: 4

    This course focuses on understanding the mathematics required for nursing. Topics include algebraic concepts and procedures (equations, ratios, proportions, percentage problems, formulas, logarithmic calculations), geometric concepts and procedures (systems of measurements and conversions, area, volume), problem-solving techniques (modeling, dosage calculations, flow-rate calculations, angle measurements) and an introduction to statistical methods and procedures (measures of central tendency, constructing and interpreting graphs, range, standard deviation and coefficient of variation, normal distributions). This online course is open only to persons with an Associate’s Degree in nursing who have completed at least one semester of intermediate algebra and who are seeking a BS or MS degree in nursing.
