3.00 Credits
This course provides a survey of statistical techniques to support doctoral research in business and the social sciences. Basic statistical concepts will be reviewed, and the student will be introduced to methods of organizing, interpreting, and presenting quantitative data. Students will gain an understanding of which statistical methods are appropriate for analyzing different research datasets, and how to develop proper statistical interpretations from those analyses. Topics include descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, probability distributions, sampling and sampling distributions, testing for significance, multiple regression, and regression analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
The Disciplined Inquiry (I & II) sequence is designed to develop more reflective, systematic, critical, and creative approaches to investigating management and organizational problems and their possible solutions. Students will learn to be both more informed consumers of published research and more skilled practitioners of applied research. Students will gain an appreciation for and experience with quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches to inquiry, as well as practice using a variety of computer-based tools for thinking about problems, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting research results.
-
3.00 Credits
Following RES 7106, this course continues to acquaint students with the dissertation research process and to help them visualize ways to frame their research interests and develop related research questions. The dissertation process is the most important of a doctoral program and building the skills to successfully complete that process is a key objective for the DBA program. Understanding the characteristics of good quantitative research is fundamental. Developing the ability to properly analyze and clearly and accurately communicate research results is also a critical function of a doctoral program. The course will investigate the design of quantitative research methods and develop an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the different research approaches.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, students will establish the framework for their dissertation research and establish a dissertation committee. They will develop expertise in using the relevant literature and will develop a solid reference list using correct APA format. Students will also prepare a draft of dissertation Chapter 1.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a conceptually-based exposure to the fundamental principles and processes of the physical world. Emphasis is placed on the physics of everyday life and how things work. Topics include basic concepts of motion, forces, energy, fluid mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, and waves. Upon completion, students should be able to describe examples and applications of the principles studied. Computer-based exercises will be used to enhance and consolidate the understanding of basic physical principles and applications.
-
4.00 Credits
The relationship between matter and energy and the principles governing this relationship are examined in this course. It sets forth the basic concepts of physics and chemistry, including the physics and chemistry of materials (their properties, the process by which they are changed, and how they are used), and energy (what it is, why it is important, and how it is used).
-
4.00 Credits
This is an algebra-based physics course providing an understanding of the major concepts in physics. Topics covered include Newtonian motion, work and energy, thermodynamics, wave properties, sound, optics, electricity and magnetism, the atom and nuclear processes, and relativity.
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores the chemistry needed to understand the impact of chemical, human, and industrial processes on our lives and our environment. The basics of inorganic, organic, and biochemistry are covered, including the chemistry of life (DNA).
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of technology in the sciences. A review of major technological advances and their relationship to man's understanding of the universe will be included. The impact of current technology on individuals, society, and the environment, including moral and ethical concerns, will also be discussed.
-
4.00 Credits
Students in this course explore the structure and function of the human body. Basic terminology to describe the structure of the body while explaining the basic concepts of body function are presented. The student is introduced to the principles of operation of the major organ systems in healthy humans. Please be advised that this course may involve dissection. Students who have a moral or religious objection may not be required to perform dissection, but may participate in other ways as assigned by the instructor.
