BUSI 101 - Statistics for Stastics Majors
So, you want to go to business school, huh?  Well,
you're going to need to learn about some basic
statistics such as t-tests and regression analysis.
And, since you're in this program, you're going to
learn about statistics that you will never need to
know, unless you happen to be enrolled in the
concurrent Statistics Ph.D. program.  You'll learn
about Convolution and Deevolution, Homoscedasticity,
and the History of Pi...whether you like it or not.

Prerequisites: Five years of linear algebra and a
Master's Degree in Math or Stastics.
BUSI 203 - Cases in Leadership
Business leaders each bring a unique management
style to their organization.  This class will compare and
contrast some of industry's most innovating and
exciting leaders including Rupert Murdoch (CEO of
News Corp), Ken Lay (CEO of Enron), and Mayor
McCheese (CEO of McDonald's).  No textbooks are
required, but you will  need to spend $386 on the
course packet, which is primarily comprised of articles
photocopied from Business Week magazine. 
 

Prerequisites: $386 and no sense of right and wrong.

BUSI 204 - The Economics of India
The U.S. is the number one economic power in the
world, but that's not what this class is about.  You
won't learn anything about the history, culture, or
economics of India, but I am going to base all of our
cases, examples, problems, tests, and class discussion
on my native country.  This course will have a participation
grade so I strongly encourage you to talk as much as
possible in each lecture, even if your comments or
observations don't add any value.  Please note that this
is a four hour class but since your classmates will be
talking so much, you should plan on staying for at least
five hours.

Prerequisites: A willingness to talk until you run out of oxygen. 
Pack a snack if listening to your classmates talk for five hours
makes you hungry.
