Courses of note include:
MGMT 205: Essentials of Personal Finance (1.5. cr) Mastering one’s personal finances can unlock incredible life possibilities – and doesn’t require being a business expert! We have built a practical, fun way to build fundamental knowledge and skills needed to make wise financial decisions (aka “life hacks”) and set up a long-term plan. We will cover budgets & saving, investing, and how to secure credit & control debt. Then, we will explore the famous “risk management tools” that successful people use to build a more resilient life – such as insurance, personal taxation, retirement planning, and estate planning.

In this course, students will explore the intersection of leadership, personal, and organizational development, while learning how to effectively communicate, plan, and make better decisions. The instructor, a world-famous leadership expert, will work with students to help them discover how to lead from within—intentionally, authentically, and with purpose.

ECON 346/446: Economic Perspectives (3 cr): Classical Liberal thinking has been all but lost on American college campuses where 70 percent of faculty say they are left leaning, and 90 percent are registered Democrats. This shift has left students without exposure to the frameworks and insights that are transforming public policy in America today. This course equips students with an understanding of classical liberal thinking by exposing them to the works Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Ayn Rand, Thomas Sowell and others, as well as analyses from think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, American Enterprise Institute (AEI), Hoover Institution, and Mercatus Center. By the end of the term, students will (1) Apply core economic reasoning to evaluate contemporary public policy issues and (2) Explain conservative/libertarian perspectives on the major issues today.
