Intro/Stat with Impact Mindset

This course introduces students to advanced statistical methods in the context of applications with high social impact. It helps students learn about the technical aspects of these methods, as well as the critical statistical thinking skills necessary to relate methods to applied contexts. It also includes horizontally- and vertically-integrated components to support communication skills across disciplines and experience levels. In this course, advanced statistical methods are methods that follow or build on multiple linear regression.

S-Sport Promo & Sales

This course builds upon Sport Marketing 321/623 through a more in-depth focus on the revenue-generation components of the sport marketing industry. The course is divided into two sections - retail-driven sales promotion and sport sales/sales management.

S-Women and Politics

Women have made tremendous gains in every aspect of social, economic and political life in the United States, particularly since the second wave of the women's movement in the 1960s. Yet, women's progress in terms of achieving elected office has reached a puzzling plateau since the 1990s. We will examine the course of women's movements towards achieving political incorporation in the United States.

General Physics II

Heat, kinetic theory, first and second laws of thermodynamics, with lab. Comprehensive study of electricity and magnetism from Coulomb's law to Ampere's law. Applications to basic circuits and ending with AC circuits. (GenEd. PS)

General Physics I

Kinematics, vectors and scalars, Newton's laws of motion, work and energy, impulse and momentum. Conservation laws. Collisions, oscillations, rotational dynamics, waves and sound, fluids, with Lab. Use of calculus in physics; problem-solving methods. Co-requisite: MATH 131. (GenEd. PS)

Current Issues in Nutrition

This course delves into recent advances and ongoing scientific controversies within nutritional sciences. Each week, we will explore a debatable theme tied to controversial dietary choices or medical treatments for managing or treating metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and other inflammatory conditions. The course content will be designed with flexibility, allowing for the integration of contemporary issues as they arise.

S-Race, Sexuality, Law/EarlyAm

What is race? What is sexuality? And how did early American history shape the legal structures that would come to define racial and sexual identities and possibilities? In this course, students will examine how African, European, and Native American ideas about race and sexuality influenced the development of colonial, early Republican, and antebellum America, with a special focus on the evolution of American legal frameworks undergirding racial and sexual hierarchies.
