This course is designed to explore in depth the relationship between communication and sport. We will examine theories of communication and connect them to sport. The class will examine the relationship between sport and race, gender, class, violence, community, and/or society throughout the United States and around the world.

A study of the processes involved in technology mediated communication, including interactions between public figures and their fans and followers, with emphasis on the preparation and delivery of messages that directly impact identity management.

The primary objective of this course is to provide you with an understanding of the social and economic relationships that exist between sport industries and the effects those relationships have on sport media consumers' daily lives.

This course is designed to explore how sport media communicate social values, social norms, cultural identification, and cultural values. This approach will allow students to critically evaluate sport media, organizations, and audiences.

This course provides the student with basic knowledge about the discipline of public health. After receiving a philosophical and political orientation to public health, students will begin to acquire functional knowledge of the strategies most often applied in public health practice. Key content areas (such as HIV prevention, maternal and child health, reducing obesity rates, and reducing tobacco addiction) will become focal points for the investigation of these strategies.

This is a required course for students enrolled in the Master of Public Health program. This course will provide guidance for students in completing a culminating project which draws from elements of the MPH core curriculum and from the student's concentration area. The course will provide students the opportunity to synthesize, integrate and apply the skills and competencies they have acquired to a public health problem.

This course teaches introductory skills in computer programming using a high-level computer programming language. There is an emphasis on both the principles and practice of computer programming. Covers principles of problem solving by computer and requires completion of a number of programming assignments.

The course covers introductory object-oriented problem solving, design, and programming engineering. Fundamental elements of data structures and algorithm design will be addressed. An equally balanced effort will be devoted to the three main threads in the course: concepts, programming language skills, and rudiments of object-oriented programming and software engineering.

Implementation of large programming projects using object-oriented design techniques and software tools in a modern development environment. Software engineering topics to include: life cycles, metrics, requirements specifications, design methodologies, validation and verification, testing, reliability and project planning.

Topics in discrete math aimed at applications in Computer Science. Fundamental principles: set theory, induction, relations, functions. Boolean algebra. Techniques of counting: permutations, combinations, recurrences, algorithms to generate them. Introduction to graphs and trees.
