Curriculum

Course Syllabus

BUS-300: Introduction To Business

In this up-to-date, comprehensive survey, BUS-300 addresses forms of business ownership, management and organization, human resources management, marketing, social media and e-business, information systems, accounting, and finance. Core topics emphasize ethics and social responsibility, small business and entrepreneurship and global issues, while new coverage examines the impact of social media on business, international business, green and socially responsible business, and sustainability

BUS-440 Accounting Principles I

This course addresses the "language of business" so students can understand terms and concepts used in business decisions. If students understand how accounting information is prepared, they will be in an even stronger position when faced with a management decision based on accounting information. BUS440 takes a business perspective by using the annual reports of real companies to illustrate many of the accounting concepts.

BUS-442 Accounting Principles II

In part two of this Accounting Principles course, students continue to expand on learning the "language of business" so they can understand terms and concepts used in business decisions. If students understand how accounting information is prepared, they will be in an even stronger position when faced with a management decision based on accounting information. BUS442 takes a business perspective by using the annual reports of real companies to illustrate many of the accounting concepts.

BUS-314 Financial Accounting

This course concentrates on the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applied to various businesses and organizations. Topics covered in BUS-314 include: analyzing, journalizing and posting transactions, adjusting entries, completion of the worksheet, financial statements, and the closing process for a service business are also covered.

BUS-403 Managerial Accounting

This course focuses on three major themes: Ready, Reinforcement, and Relevance. BUS-403 adopts a concise, jargon-free, and easy-to-understand approach in which key concepts are provided in short segments with step-by-step instructions to simplify concepts. Since all students perform better when they can answer the “why” question, meaningful references to companies throughout the course help students tie the concepts presented in each chapter to real organizations. In addition, realistic managerial scenarios present an issue that must be addressed by the management accountant. These scenarios increase student interest and show how issues can be resolved using the concepts presented in the course
