CUNY Bernard M Baruch College

Subject:

English

Description:

3 hours; 3 credits This course equips students to examine the interaction between business and government as it really occurs. Students learn to gauge the impact of lobbyists, corporate support for public events, and business organizations; to track the movement of powerful figures between the public and private spheres; to follow up the "paper trail" of legislative and governmentreports; and to decode the language and forms of regulations imposed at every level. Assignments are designed to foster the critical thinking and writing skills needed to examine the political news with an eye on its impact upon business. Prerequisite: ENG 2150, ENG/LTT 2800 or 2850, or departmental permission. For students with two other upper-level (3000-level or above, with ENG 3050 particularly recommended) English courses, this course may serve as the capstone for the Tier III requirement.
