    Risk assessment entails the evaluation of the hazardous properties of substances, the extent of human exposure to them and the characterization of resulting risk. It is a systematic approach to organizing and analyzing the scientific knowledge regarding potentially hazardous activities or substances. Variability and uncertainty are used to estimate the level of confidence in the risk assessment. The general approach to risk assessment including the use of default assumptions and uncertainty analysis will be presented along with illustrative examples. Prerequisites: graduate standing or senior with >B average.

    The primary objective of the course is to provide the necessary background that will permit students to understand and accurately describe the workings of the Earth's climate system, the interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, and climate, and human's involvement in altering these processes. The course is broken into four components covering earth science, energy, policy, and database access/programming. This highly quantitative course will use project-based experiences to allow each student an opportunity to complete a data acquisition/modeling project of their own design to show correlations between human activities, current atmospheric concentrations, and resulting ecosystem change. For example, the global spatial and temporal distributions of greenhouse gases, clouds, aerosols, radiation, etc. Students will use computational programming tools (Matlab, Excel) in combination with mapping tools (Google Maps, API) to quantify, analyze, and display geographical variations of integrated and averaged values of quantities studied. The project will have separate expectations for graduate and undergraduate students. Prerequisites: quantitative and modeling skills (Matlab, Excel)

    This case oriented capstone Finance course is designed to acquaint students with the fundamental issues in strategic financial management using financial markets. Using the underlying principle of shareholder wealth maximization, the key role of valuation in the strategic planning process will be highlighted by studying corporate decisions that interface with financial markets. Both theoretical valuation models and methods used in practice 'on the street' will be discussed, compared and implemented to measure the value created by investment, divestment, and restructuring decisions. The course examines the causes of value gaps in firms and develops methods to close the gaps and unlock hidden value. We will rely heavily on material from all previous Finance and Accounting courses.
