As today's social climate makes many demands on business, business leaders are required to be as skilled in managing their companies' social relations as the more traditional economic ones. The study of the interactions between business and "the world beyond company gate" is the subject of this course. Throughout the course, students are exposed to diverse theories, research findings and relevant business cases that help them to attain the basic framework of the ever-changing relationship between business and society. Major topics of the course are changing social expectations, growing emphasis on ethical reasoning and actions, globalization, evolving government regulations and business response, dynamic natural environment, explosion of new technology and innovation, and creating value in a dynamic environment.

Viruses are responsible for numerous human illnesses and millions of deaths annually. Some of the most feared, widespread and devastating human diseases such as influenza, measles and AIDS are caused by viruses. Similarly, viruses cause a number of recently emerging diseases, including Ebola hemorrhagic fever, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Zika virus infection and influenza pandemics. This course explores the complex biology of viruses, their multiplication cycle and pathogenesis, how they are structured, what strategies they use to enter their host cells, how they express and replicate their genomes, how they produce new virions, how they have evolved, and how host cells respond to viral infection.

This course is designed to help students establish a solid understanding of how cells and nutrients contribute to health and body functions by interacting with each other. The students are provided with an introduction to key concepts relevant to molecular and cell biology and cellular nutrient metabolism, and have the opportunity to learn and discuss how cells handle nutrients and how nutrients contribute to cellular health and functioning. Nutritional science is highly interdisciplinary. This class concerns a part of the broad array of topics relevant to nutrition, particularly with focuses on the molecular and cellular aspects of food components essential to the body.

Prerequisite: General biology

This course surveys the main developments in education from ancient Greece up until present day, emphasizing in particular the cultural and philosophical milieu of each place and period. Participants develop a critical understanding of the historical dynamics through which educational theory and practice evolved in the west and the influence of these on contemporary education. This course is implemented as a colloquium: open-ended, participant-directed discussions on the weekly topic. 

This course provides a study of Korean classical literature for cultural contents on the basis of storytelling for movies, exhibitions, and performance arts. It examines how Korean classic literature transforms into media and its methodology.

This class introduces Korean contemporary films and relevant societal discourses. The course covers the role of film/moving images in contemporary society, the rhetoric of visual media in broader context, and lastly, Korean contemporary films in a more concrete realm. By writing critiques on each subject as well as sharing during class, students challenge their personal feelings and thoughts, broaden their knowledge, and deepen their insights on film media.
