This course is designed to be a graduate level seminar in theory construction in general and as it applies to the tourism phenomenon and its impacts. It is designed to give students an introduction into the basic concepts of theory using published research from the fields of management, marketing, hospitality and tourism management. Students are expected to develop an understanding of classic theories within their specific areas of interest and create a foundation framework for three dissertation research.

This course is designed to enhance the knowledge base and analytical skills of engineering graduate students whose major interests are in geotechnical engineering and civil infrastructure materials. It can also be a selective for graduate students from geology (geosciences) and soil sciences. Major topics include the fundamentals of clay mineralogy, the mechanical and engineering properties of clay minerals, and a suite of micro/nano characterization techniques for clay minerals and other fine-grained geomaterials.

Required for majors. Emphasis on an oral and written interpretation of current journal articles in selected fields of biochemistry.

This course provides an introduction to Econometrics. Econometrics applies economic theory and the tools of descriptive and inferential statistics to economic data to answer a wide variety of interesting questions. Econometrics theory and tools can be used to: describe the characteristics of a population; create hypotheses and test the predictions of a theoretical model; and estimate the statistical relationship between two variables. This course will introduce you to the theoretical foundations and empirical applications of multiple regression analysis.
