This course examines the processes and skills necessary for starting and operating a new business. Students are introduced to various stages of entrepreneurship such as capturing business ideas, evaluating business ideas, establishing appropriate business models, and getting funded by venture capital firms. 

Students work primarily conducted in teams, with teams formed based on the diversity of students. For instance, students from different fields will form a team to create a creative business plan. 

The course also explores how entrepreneurs search for business ideas, evaluate them, and create and sustain long-term growth. Additionally, it covers how to implement competitive strategies aligned with this vision. To this end, the course encompasses all functional areas of business administration such as marketing, accounting, finance, and management. Case studies, guest lectures from external experts, and business plan assignments are incorporated to deepen the understanding of how a company modifies and develops its strategic position. 

Finally, this course is designed to help students learn better communication techniques. 

In special cases and with the approval of the instructor concerned, a student may carry out directed studies of specific problems in natural resources conservation.

This course brings together a range of academic disciplines and literature to give students a broad understanding of drug policy, both international and national. While drug use and policy may be discussed as part of other courses, this is the only course that focuses specifically on drug policy, and the impact it has on society today. Drug policy is becoming increasingly visible as an important component of both health and legal policy. Around the world there are shifts which see drug policy moving to a health matter, and the contradictions that can have in the development and delivery of criminal justice and public health frameworks. The course explores both criminal justice and public health approaches to drug policy, and introduces students to the broader concept of a "public good" approach.

This course gives students an understanding of multiple 3D software applications, how those applications can exchange information, and helps them to use software in an appropriate way to virtualize other potential physical outcomes. Its main objective is to help students to a lack of bias about software that moves them to a more considered evaluation of individual pieces of softwares' fitness for purpose based upon the task at hand. As an indicative pairing of projects (i.e. the actual projects and named software used here might change based upon availability, opportunity, and topicality.) the students could be working to create a model of a piece of public art, to a massive scale, and then situating it within a researched actual location via Google Earth so that its relative visual impact upon that location can be understood. This would be supplemented with a project using 3DS Max to explore slightly more advanced methods of modelling and texturing. 

This course examines key concepts of geographic information science as applied to earth and environmental sciences. It covers monitoring, analysis, visualization and modelling of landscape change for terrestrial and coastal environments, using imagery from satellites, airplanes (LiDAR) and UAVs. Principles and practice of field techniques, including RTK-GPS, LiDAR and UAV piloting will be reviewed with application to catchment management, conservation, natural hazards and civil infrastructure.

This course covers the different psychological processes that occur within a group (between members) and between groups (in relation to other groups) from the perspective of organizational psychology. In particular, it examines the behavior of groups or teams that need to perform specific tasks, such as solving problems, making decisions, or resolving conflicts. Topics include social negligence, group dramatization, groupthink, information sharing, conflicts between groups, and crowd behavior. Students participate in practical team and group assignments and projects to solve problems that may occur in actual organizations or teams. In addition, students have the opportunity to think about ideas that can have a positive impact on actual social policies and organizational operations.

This course introduces major organ systems that contribute to the "constancy of the internal environment" of an organism. Physiologically, homeostasis is the body's attempt to maintain a constant and balanced internal environment for living processes to take place, which requires persistent monitoring and adjustments, as external and internal conditions change. The major organ systems covered include the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, and the urinary system.

This course studies Europe both as a collection of countries that exhibit varying political, economic, and policy patterns but face very similar problems at the turn of the millennium and as a political and economic unit that binds those European countries together and determines their collective responses to the challenges they face. It provides an understanding of capitalist diversity within Europe and the challenges faced by European integration in the past decade and a half.
