An examination of the challenges and limitations of financial reporting and a dissection of the complex issues surrounding assets, liabilities, and equities.The primary objective of this course is to provide students with the tools necessary to prepare, understand, and critically analyze financial statements. The course is designed to prepare students for advanced study and various professional business examinations.
This course provides students with an understanding of various economic policies and principles underlying the Federal income tax and the tax and jurisprudential theories underpinning that body of law. Those policies and theoretical underpinnings are demonstrated and evidenced through a survey of various Internal Revenue Code provisions, Treasury regulations, and court decisions dealing with the Federal income tax as applied both to individuals and to businesses, both domestic and international.
This course bridges the gap between traditional "business ethics," which govern internal organizational culture and corporate integrity, and "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR), which manages a firm's external impact on society and the environment. This course uniquely connects foundational ethical frameworks with the urgent realities of environmental justice and Environmental Social Governance data fluency. In transitioning students from passive theoretical observers into applied strategic consultants, this course helps them navigate the complex ethical, social, and environmental demands of the modern global economy and its constituent business enterprises.
This course examines business trends and business structures in emerging markets located in the region of focus. The course initially focuses on the country context, the foundational elements of political, social, and economic history, by drawing on readings from key economic development texts to set the stage for business context in the selected emerging market countries to be visited. This course discusses the evolution of conglomerate enterprises and business networks. It introduces students to examples of corporate organization and management of these enterprises, and elaborates how these structures impact the success of companies from the region of study. The course will examine the policies and case examples of new start-up business development and entrepreneurship, and how economies in the region are adapting structures to shape an innovation economy. The course will also explore business practices in the countries of study, providing students with an understanding of business culture, protocol, and business customs.
Chemistry
Concepts explored include conceptual and quantitative treatments of intermolecular forces, physical properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Primarily designed for students with interest in the physical and life sciences. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. The associated laboratory illustrates the lecture topics, emphasizes quantitative measurements, and develops analytical techniques. Not open to students who have received credit for CHEM 120, 150, or 151.

Solution and solid state chemistry is fundamental in a variety of contexts from biological to geological systems. This course explores the behavior of these systems as well as applications of chemical theory in a variety of contexts. Students gain experience with the measurements and analysis necessary to characterize both solution and solid samples in the laboratory setting. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three and one-half hours.

The second in a series of experiences designed to strengthen scientific communication skills. Students will observe and engage with a variety of presenters, such as invited speakers, faculty, and peers. Throughout the course, participants will learn skills to assist in the preparation and delivery of a scientific presentation to an audience. Junior majors will deliver a scientific presentation on a topic agreed upon with a faculty mentor.
A detailed examination of the chemistry of the elements, with a particular emphasis on structure and bonding, structure-property relationships, and reaction energetics. Course topics include organometallics and catalysis, aquatic chemistry of the metals, solid-state chemistry, and the role of metals in biology. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, four hours.
