The course focuses on the internal use of accounting information in the formulation of management decisions. Students learn how financial systems can add value to a company. Different costing systems, budgetary planning, and incremental analysis are among the course contents.
This course introduces students to the business of marketing both conceptually and as a profession. Study and activities include understanding the strategic marketing process, planning and research, launching new products, distribution, promotion and pricing. While studying and examining contemporary online and offline marketing methods, we will also analyze landmark marketing case studies to understand how key decisions impact outcomes and influence consumer purchasing behavior.
The course will explore fundamental concepts, theories, and practices employed in the field of entrepreneurship and the role entrepreneurship plays in the global economy and society. This course will develop conceptual and practical knowledge of new ventures, innovation and idea creation, and risk-taking. Students will learn to describe the new venture creation process —including the activities, challenges and opportunities involved, and leading methodologies. The course will also explore the global view of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship and impact models, and entrepreneurial finance.
This course examines the functions of management, planning, organizing, leading and controlling with an emphasis on the application of management theories and concepts to achieve organizational goals. Students are introduced to frameworks for understanding organizations to improve their effectiveness as a team member, manager, or leader. Topics include purposes, structure, bureaucracy, decision-making, communication, and power and control in organizations.
Designed to complement the student's internship experience, this seminar features a selected topic involving the study of business and markets such as business history or philosophical perspectives on capitalism. The seminar includes instruction designed to help students develop practical business skills. Open only to Carey Fellows.
A selection of topics are explored depending on interest. This course may be repeated once for credit when the topic differs.

Chemistry
This course provides an understanding of how chemistry and metals influence everyday lives. Using the periodic table as a touchstone, the course examines the role of metals and their chemistry in society. Specific themes include the use of metals in medicine and health; the role of metals in the production of modern materials and products; the use of metals in both traditional and alternative fuels; and the ways in which metals have been used to influence global political power through the atomic bomb and other devices. This course may not be used in to satisfy requirements for the major or minor in Chemistry. Lecture, three hours.
Students will investigate the fundamentals of chemistry in the context of real-world problems and will utilize systems of biological and environmental importance. Core concepts include stoichiometry, aqueous chemistry, gas laws, thermochemistry, atomic structure, molecular structure, and bonding. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. The associated laboratory illustrates the lecture topics, emphasizes quantitative measurements, and develops analytical techniques.

Development of chemistry’s foundational concepts in greater detail than “General Chemistry” and with special emphasis on both theoretical understanding and analytical reasoning. Intended for students with strong preparation in chemistry and high motivation, the course focuses on the molecular basis of matter and its transformation as well as the role of chemistry in the broader scientific and societal enterprise. The laboratory portion of the course emphasizes the collection and interpretation of empirical data. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours.
