This course is designed to provide students with a foundational knowledge of various information systems. These systems are used by organizations for supporting customers, and they serve as the information foundation of many business functions ranging from marketing, human resources, accounting, and finance. Students will learn the role of information technology and systems in practice, and how these can be leveraged to create and sustain competitive advantage. Topics covered in this course include information systems and technology terminology, computer history, data representation, data storage concepts, fundamentals of information processing, information systems infrastructure, and business intelligence. Students will also conduct a career exploration in the field of information systems. 3 credits

This course develops the competence in critical thinking and writing essential for college-level reasoning and expression across all disciplines. Students develop critical appraisal and argument, demonstrate mechanical and grammatical proficiency, and read model texts from different genres and rhetorical contexts. These activities allow students to read and write expository texts in order to improve coherence, logic, and clarity. The course is preparatory for English 102, in which students will apply these fundamental skills to scholarly and literary research and writing. 3 credits

This course reinforces, enhances, and applies the fundamental skills learned in ENG 101. It develops these skills toward the analysis of rhetoric in literary texts and the application of rhetorical skills in an extended research project. It emphasizes the importance of research ethics and of dialectic as a means of discerning truth through research and investigation. 3 credits

Topics include solving equations, inequalities, and systems of equations; exponents; radicals; polynomial, inverse and rational functions and their graphs. 3 credits

This course is designed to introduce leadership theory and practice from a private perspective. Students will study the complexities of business leadership. 3 credits

This course includes descriptive statistics, an introduction to probability, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression. 3 credits

This course includes fundamental concepts of algebra, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; analytic trigonometry; applications of trigonometry; vectors; and complex numbers. 3 credits

This course is a study of differential and integral calculus. 3 credits

This course is a study of the principles of physics with an emphasis on mechanics, heat, and wave. 4 credits

This course serves as an introduction to both the research and writing techniques relevant to higher education. The goals of the course are: to improve students’ understanding of the concepts related to research methodology and various forms of publication; to expose students to the APA model, to improve the students’ ability to clearly communicate ideas, and to clarify both quantitative and qualitative frameworks. This is a Writing Intensive course consisting of Journal Reviews, Annotated Bibliographies, and a basic research proposal. 3 credits

This course continues the foundational work set by RSM 200. Students will elect to create either a Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods research proposal. Students will be expected to present and defend their selected proposal. 3 credits
