Corporate Finance
Pre-requisite Course: SIPAU6200 - Accounting.
Corporate finance is an introductory finance course and a central component for students pursuing the international finance track of the International Finance and Economic Policy (IFEP) concentration. This course covers key areas of business finance essential for all managers, regardless of their specialization in finance. Three fundamental questions are addressed: how much funding a firm requires to carry out its business plan, how the firm should acquire the necessary funds, and whether the business plan is worthwhile even if the funds are available.
To explore these questions, the course will cover topics such as analyzing historical uses of funds, formulating and projecting funding needs, analyzing working capital management, choosing among alternative sources of external funding for company operations, identifying costs of funds from various sources, valuing simple securities, evaluating investment opportunities, and valuing a company based on its projected free cash flow.
The course will combine lectures and in-class case discussions, for which students should prepare fully. The goal is to provide students with an understanding of both sound theoretical principles of finance and the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.

Diplomacy in Practice:EU/World
The course will introduce students to the practice of modern diplomacy through case studies of global or regional crises and the EU’s response to them. Students will learn how foreign policy is devised and implemented from the perspective of a professional diplomat.
The course will start with an introduction to the history of EU foreign policy and then to the institutions and instruments involved in foreign affairs. Each class will then focus on specific case studies starting with the EU approach to its different international partners: allies (transatlantic partnership and UN system), neighbors (the Southern Neighboring policy, the Eastern Partnership, the new European Political Community), and the rest of the multipolar world (Russia, China, India, Turkey,…); then the situation in Ukraine; the conflicts in the Middle East region (Libya, Syria, Middle East peace process) and the Iran nuclear agreement; lastly, the migration crisis. The final class will wrap up the course with a reflection on lessons learned and possible future developments of EU foreign policy’s organization and agenda. In each case, students will explore the interplay between the various instruments of foreign policy, including crisis management, defense and security, trade, financial aid, humanitarian assistance, and public diplomacy.

Nonprofit Financial Management
Priority Reg: MIA and MPA.
Nonprofits are businesses – corporations in fact – driven foremost by mission and their ability to achieve it, but also critically needing access to, and the ability to effectively manage, financial resources, in order to fulfill that mission. Therefore, successful nonprofits and their managers, supporters, overseers, regulators, and even their employees – basically anyone who has a financial relationship with nonprofits needs not only to understand the enterprise’s success in achieving its mission, but just as importantly, the skills to understand the nonprofit’s finances. If engaging with nonprofits is something you do, have done, or aspire to, then a basic understanding of nonprofit finances is essential, and this course is for you. The course provides an introduction to the finances of nonprofits: understanding and analyzing financial statements, budgets, cash flow, audits, overhead and cost allocation, and why these are all important. The course is practical, hands-on, and – believe it or not – fun! Please note: this course focuses on nonprofits and their financial management as regulated in the United States. While the concepts here have value globally, the legal and regulatory structures discussed are specific to the United States and may not be the same in other countries.

Campaign Management
Together, we will learn (from some of the top experts in the field) how to plan, manage, and execute the major elements of a modern American campaign using skills that can be applied to all levels of the electoral process. What are the elements of a modern political campaign? How are those pieces executed? How do we get the people elected (or un-elected) who impacts Public Policy for decades? If you are interested in political campaigns, this is your chance to learn directly from well-known political consultants about the various tools and strategies used in all aspects of American politics and campaigns today.
Although this is a course focusing on practical competence, empirical political theory and relevant political science will be applied to our work. Guest lecturers, simulations, and additional materials such as videos and handouts will augment the course. When we are done, you will know what you need to do, and where you need to turn, in order to effectively organize an election campaign. The curriculum is ambitious, specialized, and task-specific. This is not a course in political science, but rather a hands-on, intensive training seminar in campaign skills. By May, you will be able to write a campaign plan, structure a fundraising effort, hire and work with consultants, plan a media campaign (both paid and unpaid), research and target a district, structure individual voter contact, use polling data, understand the utility of focus groups, write press releases, conduct advance work on behalf of your candidate, manage crises, hire and fire your staff, and tell your candidate when he or she is wrong. Our aim is to make you competent and eminently employable in the modern era of advanced campaign technology. The cornerstone of this class is a team project to design a campaign plan for a real political race. To make this more interesting (and realistic), you will be provided with information and situations throughout the semester that will require you to plan, anticipate, and adapt your campaign plan to the changing realities inherent to every campaign.
The course will be co-taught by Camille Rivera, Partner at New Deal Strategies, an experienced policy and political legislative director with a demonstrated history of working in the non-profit organization management industry; and Alex Navarro-McKay, a veteran political strategist and admaker who has advised numerous local and national political candidates and organizations.

Mothers
It might be an exaggeration to say that religion begins with mothers. More accurate, perhaps, would be the suggestion that birth being paradigmatic of all origins and beginnings, all creation stories, mothers might serve as the ultimate metaphorical resource to think religion (and a few other things). And then there is of course the Great Mother, the matriarchal origins of the divine, as well as the contested matriarchy at the origins of human society. We will consider as many mothers as we can, beginning with specific mothers, mothers like Eve and Hagar, and “Mother India” too. We will attend to Mary, Mother of God, and we will consider matricide and maternal infanticide too. We will learn about the “mother tongue” and African matriarchy. Throughout we will explore the mother and the maternal as religious and theoretical questions — with a little help from psychoanalysis’ mothers.

Politics in the European Union
This course offers an overview of recent and contemporary politics in the European Union. On the basis of the assumption that the latter is inextricably determined by both supra-national and infra-national dynamics, it examines the European Union as a whole, as well as the politics of certain key member states. Classes are based on readings from foundational texts in the recent comparative politics and history literature on the European Union and its member states. They will involve initial lectures by the instructor and leave ample time for seminar-style discussion. In addition, students will be required to participate in a number of structured class debates, which will form an integral part of the pedagogy, and serve as one of the bases for individual evaluation. Throughout the duration of the course, students will also be working on a final research paper, whose topic will be determined individually with the instructor.

COMPUTATIONAL POROMECHANICS
A fluid infiltrating porous solid is a multiphase material whose mechanical behavior is significantly influenced by the pore fluid. Diffusion, advection, capillarity, heating, cooling, and freezing of pore fluid, buildup of pore pressure, and mass exhanges among solid and fluid constituents all influence the stability and integrity of the solid skeleton, causing shrinkage, swelling, fracture, or liquefaction. These coupling phenomena are important for numerous disciplines, including geophysics, biomechanics, and material sciences. Fundamental principles of poromechanics essential for engineering practice and advanced study on porous media. Topics include balance principles, Biot’s poroelasticity, mixture theory, constitutive modeling of path independent and dependent multiphase materials, numerical methods for parabolic and hyperbolic systems, inf-sup conditions, and common stabilization procedures for mixed finite element models, explicit and implicit time integrators, and operator splitting techniques for poromechanics problems.

Budgeting & Financial Management for Gov
Budgeting & Fin Mgmt for Govt
Priority Reg: MIA and MPA.
Public sector budgeting in the United States, and perhaps globally, has become increasingly contentious in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. This course introduces students to budgeting and fiscal management in the public sector. We will look at the particular challenges of developing a budget within a political environment and the techniques used for reporting, accountability, and management control. Domestically, the landscape for government budgeting is being tested in unprecedented ways. Fiscal pressures at the federal and state levels have increasingly pushed responsibilities for program funding to the local level. Municipal bankruptcy, once a theoretical and untested concept, has emerged more frequently as a solution despite its long-term consequences. Selected topics will include inter-governmental relationships, taxes and other revenues, expenditure control, audits, and productivity enhancement. Lectures will also address current events related to public sector budgeting at all levels, especially as the world emerges from the COVID-19 global pandemic and the ensuing economic and fiscal crises. This course seeks to provide students with practical budgetary and financial analysis knowledge. Drawing from theory and case studies, students will acquire valuable skills to help them design, implement, and assess public sector budgets. The practical nature of the subject requires the students’ active, hands-on participation in assignments such as in-class debates, case analyses, and a budget cycle simulation. By the end of the semester, conscientious students will be able to formulate budgetary recommendations backed up by cogent analysis and calculations.

Conduct of War
The conduct of war lies at the heart of international security policy. Even if never used, the capacity to conduct war successfully underpins deterrence and much of foreign policy. Creating and wielding this capacity is the ultimate purpose of most security policymakers’ jobs. The equipment, organization, recruitment and training of great power militaries are all shaped by the demands of conducting war. The agencies that field these militaries and shape these policies exist in large part to enable successful conduct in the event of war. A deep understanding of international politics thus requires awareness of the conduct of war and its demands. And the deepest possible knowledge of the theory and practice of modern warfare is among the most important skills a prospective participant in security policy making can bring to the enterprise – a sophisticated understanding of the conduct of war is foundational to almost everything else a security policy professional does. The purpose of this course is to provide a sufficient grounding in this essential material to enable students to participate effectively in the security policymaking process. In particular, the course is designed to equip students to shoulder the duties of an entry-level analyst or civil servant in the many executive branch agencies, legislative offices, think tanks, and international organizations whose duties involve the conduct of war. In the process, the course should give you the underlying intellectual foundations needed to learn more rapidly from your experience once you enter the field, and thus to graduate more quickly to positions of greater responsibility and influence within the field. But this is not a general education liberal arts course – while we will cover a body of important ideas about a major human enterprise, and while the course should sharpen students’ critical thinking skills, our priority will be pre-professional preparation for students who expect to work in the defense policy field after graduation.

Sustainable Development and Global Envir
SUSTAIN DEVEL & GLOB ENVI
This course is intended to give students a broad overview and introduction to global environmental health issues in relation to sustainable development. Environmental health and sustainability issues of concern worldwide are highlighted, and global trends in health status and environmental quality discussed in relation to driving forces and pressures on the environment which lead to adverse health consequences. The historical roots and changing nature and scope of environmental health is discussed in relation to global environmental change, sustainability and the evolving global agenda on sustainable development. Concepts and interpretations of environmental health, sustainability and sustainable development are examined and critiqued, and their various dimensions, underlying principles and values assessed.
The concept of ecosystem health and planetary health is introduced and the implications for health and well-being of the deterioration of ecosystems and ecosystem services is examined. The overloading of ecosystems, evidenced by such factors as climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation and related factors are highlighted. Conceptual frameworks for understanding the multiplicity of sources and pathways and complexity of linkages between health, the environment and development sectors are presented and compared, and methodological challenges in assessing such linkages focused on. The relationship between sectors like agriculture, energy, housing and urban settlements - with sustainability and environmental health is examined through case studies.
The policy and planning process for addressing environmental health and sustainable development concerns at various tiers of government is examined, with a focus on the concept of intersectorality. The underlying principles of intersectoral action and its application to addressing complex, multifaceted problems, whose determinants lie outside of the health sector, is discussed. Issues such as environmental justice and equity, and the role of partnerships and stakeholders in the different phases of the policy and planning cycle is highlighted. Tools for policy and decision- makers in environmental health and sustainable development such as indicators and health impact assessment methodologies are emphasized. Finally, the different disciplines, professionals and players associated with environmental health and sustainable development, and the implications of the expanding and changing nature of environmental health is discussed in relation to the o
