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

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 236 - Geometry and Measurement for Teachers Credits: 3
The course will provide opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of geometry as a study of size, shape and properties of space; a tool for problem solving; and a way of modeling physical situations. Topics include the study of logic, polygons, solids, Euclid’s postulates, congruent figures, similarity, rigid motion and symmetry, vectors and transformation, and other geometries; the use of manipulatives and technology will support the teaching and learning of these topics.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 111 , MATH 115 or MATH 118 with a grade of C or better, and MATH 203 with a grade of C or better.

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.
