BUS 492 Independent Study 1-3 sem. hrs.<br />

An investigation, directed by a faculty member, of topics pertinent to<br />

business. The investigation may be in one or more of the following<br />

formats: directed readings, applied projects, independent research<br />

and/or discussion. By arrangement with the instructor and with permission<br />

of the Division Chair.<br />

MBA Preparation Series<br />

The MBA Preparation Series is available to undergraduate students<br />

who seek to pursue admission to the <strong>Walsh</strong> <strong>University</strong> MBA<br />

Program under Option II. To satisfy Option II, the student must complete<br />

these courses with a grade of B or better in each course.<br />

Enrollment in MBA-P courses requires the permission of the MBA<br />

Program Director. MBA-P credit hours are included in the undergraduate's<br />

18 credit hours for tuition purposes, may satisfy elective<br />

credits in the student's degree requirements and grades earned are<br />

calculated in the undergraduate GPA.<br />

MBA-P 501 Quantitative Literacy 2 sem. hrs.<br />

and Statistics<br />

By extensively utilizing Microsoft Excel, this course will focus on<br />

practical mathematical and statistical concepts that have required<br />

applications in quantitative MBA courses. Topics include algebraic<br />

functions, graphing systems of equations, measures of central tendency<br />

and dispersion, and probability distributions. By permission<br />

only. Offered fall, spring and summer semesters.<br />

MBA-P 502 Concepts in Accounting 2 sem. hrs.<br />

and Finance<br />

This course represents a study of accounting fundamentals and financial<br />

decision-making concepts. The course will prepare students for<br />

Managerial Accounting and Financial Management of the MBA<br />

Program. Topics include but are not limited to financial statements<br />

and analysis, Cash Flow, Capital Budgeting, and Time Value Money<br />

concepts by applying the business calculator (Texas Instruments BA<br />

II or HP 10B, 12C or a comparable financial calculator). By permission<br />

only. Offered fall, spring, and summer semesters.<br />

CHEMISTRY (CHEM)<br />

CHEM 100 Introduction to Chemistry 3 sem. hrs.<br />

This course is designed for students who have had little or no<br />

chemistry experience prior to attending <strong>Walsh</strong>. This course is<br />

mandatory for nursing-intended students who do not pass the Chem<br />

100 placement test with 70% or higher. This course provides the<br />

concepts and basic skill sets to help prepare students for Chem 109.<br />

Topics include the metric system; units; significant figures; factorlabel<br />

calculations; density; atoms, molecules and ions; basic<br />

nomenclature of inorganic salts; balancing chemical reactions;<br />

mass-mole relationships; basic algebra; logarithms; basics of acidbase<br />

chemistry; basic chemical bonding; and an introduction to<br />

Lewis structures and VSEPR geometries. The course is taught at a<br />

pace to enable substantial repetition and skill development. The<br />

course is problem-solving intensive and all students must have a<br />

basic scientific calculator. This course is offered fall and spring<br />

semester every year. 3 hours of lecture per week.<br />

CHEM 101 Principles of Chemistry I 3 sem. hrs.<br />

Principles of Chemistry I is designed to help students learn key concepts<br />

and skills in chemistry including data management; atoms,<br />

molecules and ions; chemical reactions and stoichiometry, gas<br />

behavior; thermochemistry, atomic theory & quantum mechanics,<br />

and chemical bonding. The course is taught using a combination of<br />

interactive lecture, chemical & multi-media demonstrations, group<br />

dynamics and problem solving. This course is intended for students<br />

who are chemistry or biology majors or education majors with a<br />

concentration in the sciences. Consequently, must place in Math 104<br />

or higher, and a strong background in high school chemistry is very<br />

helpful. This course is offered every Fall semester. Taking the lab in<br />

conjunction with the course is highly recommended. 3 hours of lecture<br />

and one 3 hour lab per week.<br />

CHEM 101L Principles of Chemistry Lab I 1 sem hrs.<br />

This lab experience is designed to compliment Chem 101 lecture. A<br />

strong focus is placed on proper methods for measuring data (mass,<br />

volume, length, etc...), proper use of significant figures; basic statistical<br />

methods; graphing and data presentation; laboratory safety and<br />

proper scientific report writing. Experiments include, but are not limited<br />

to, determination of densities of materials; gravimetric analysis;<br />

volumetric analysis (acid-base titrations, etc...); quantitative analysis<br />

using spectrophotometry; calorimetry and other labs as time permits.<br />

For most experiments, students work independently, but teamwork is<br />

also encouraged in certain situations. This lab is offered only in the<br />

fall semester every year. One 3-hour lab period per week.<br />

CHEM 102 Principles of Chemistry II 4 sem. hrs.<br />

Principles of Chemistry II continues to build on POC I. Topics<br />

include chemical bonding, molecular geometry, solution chemistry,<br />

chemical kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, complex ions,<br />

thermodynamic state functions, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry.<br />

This course emphasizes the integrated nature of chemistry and<br />

provides numerous practical applications of chemistry in materials<br />

science, medicine, Pharmaceuticals and food science. A working<br />

knowledge of basic algebra, logarithms, and graphing is vital.<br />

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Chem 101. Offered every<br />

Spring semester. Taking the lab in conjunction with the course is<br />

highly recommended. 3 hours of lecture and one 3 hour lab per week.
