This course provides an in-depth study of a particular topic in business. The topic changes each time the course is offered and can vary between sections. These courses are designed for students seeking additional study beyond the standard lower-division business courses. These courses have variable credits, from one to three, and are repeatable.
This course is an effort to expand the offerings at this institution. It provides an opportunity for faculty to develop unique courses with flexibility in their approach and topic. The course could also be used to try out a class before permanently adding it to the college's catalog. Additionally, it provides students with a chance to explore a variety of topics in greater depth. Similar courses are offered at other USHE institutions.
As a Special Topics course, the content will vary from class to class. If a Special Topics course is offered, faculty have ensured there is sufficient interest in the topic to create the course. Course content and assignments will align with sophomore-level demands rather than being the equivalent of an upper-division course at a four-year institution.
