The course is designed to provide Chemical Engineering students in the Biopharmaceutical Engineering Certificate program with the fundamental concepts underlying the disciplines and research as related to the development and use of drugs. These concepts will be taught from the perspective of the design, analysis and interpretation data from preclinical (T0) to clinical trials (T1, T2) to therapeutic practice (T3) and translating these into communities (T4).

This course addresses climate change/global warming science, the roles of agriculture in climate change, and delivers the necessary knowledge, principles, and applications of agrometeorology to understand the interconnectivity of these factors. Topics include the scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change; climate change impacts on our lives and society; two-way relationships between climate change and agriculture; and the application of multiple approaches in agrometeorology from local to regional and global scales, etc.

Management, environmental, economic, and social considerations of cover crops across a diversity of agricultural production systems. Through lab activities, students will actively grow cover crops, measure benefits and tradeoffs, and apply knowledge to make management and policy recommendations.

This course discusses the use of statistical techniques in the environmental and agricultural sciences through demonstrations of experiment design, data treatments, statistical tests, error analysis, and statistical bias/assumptions. This course introduces the R coding language, and laboratory exercises focus on using R Studio for data analysis, statistical testing, and data visualization. Lecture, 2.5 hours per week; laboratory, 2 hours per week. 4 credits.

Study of nutrient cycles as linked to energy and water in terrestrial ecosystems. Effects of agricultural production and management on nutrient and energy flows at local, regional, and global scales.

Students will learn about International Relations theory and the craft of diplomacy, as well as current global issues facing countries today. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in a Model United Nations conference.

This course is designed to foster students' early careers in politics and enhance their experience as an intern in Washington, DC. To those ends, the course has several core goals. First, the course will allow students to learn about the varied career opportunities available in public service and government. Second, it will connect students with University of Kentucky alumni who can serve as contacts and mentors for students as they navigate their careers. Third, it will allow students to reflect on their experiences as interns and how it may affect their career aspirations.

This course immerses students in the burgeoning academic and historical literature on interstate conflicts, concentrating on the causes of wars. The bulk of the course will focus on the factors that make interstate conflicts more or less likely to occur, such as power relations and domestic determinants.

This course immerses students in the burgeoning academic and historical literature on political and racial tolerance. The course will focus on the implications of political and racial intolerance, factors that explain tolerance, and how we can improve political and racial tolerance throughout society. The course begins with an examination of historical patterns and trends political intolerance. Then we will consider major theoretical explanations of the roots of intolerance.

This course introduces students to the dynamic interaction between sports, politics, and law, primarily (but not exclusively) focusing on the United States. It will do so primarily from a social science perspective. While some people have argued that "sports and politics don't mix" (e.g., five-time gold medal speed skater Eric Heiden), many prominent examples exist that demonstrate they are, in fact, inseparably intertwined.
