  • 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

    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.

    Prerequisite(s): MNGT 305 , FIN 305 , MKTG 305  and senior standing.

  • 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 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.

  • MATH 291 - Mathematics for Secondary Teachers


    Credits: 3

    This course was designed to enhance the conceptual and procedural understandings of the mathematics that is taught at the secondary level—number theory, algebra, geometry, functions, probability and statistics. Concepts and problems will be viewed from an advanced perspective where the students will investigate alternate definitions and approaches to mathematical ideas; consider proofs, extensions and generalizations of familiar theorems; investigate multiple approaches to problem solving, and study connections between topics from different courses. Understanding and communication of mathematical concepts and processes will be emphasized; the use of technology and manipulatives will be used when appropriate. This course will not serve as an upper-level mathematics elective for the major or minor in mathematics.

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 253 , grade of C or better.
