GMB 540 Business Legal Structure
The purpose of this course is to present the legal, political and ethical environment of business activity through exposure of the student to basic tenants of the law. Because the legal environment is continuously evolving, it is necessary for the student to consider law as it applies to business from a historical, social, ethical and global perspective, and not just as a set of rules. The greater goal of the course is to equip students, as current or future managers, with the necessary knowledge and critical thinking skills to anticipate, prevent, and resolve management issues they will likely encounter in their careers involving ethics and the legal system.
In this context, the course will cover basic theories of societal governance, the state and federal court systems, alternative dispute resolution, constitutional principles, business regulation, corporate social responsibility, torts, product liability, business crimes, intellectual property, contracts, agency and employment law, business organizations, equal opportunity law, internet law, and electronic commerce.

GMB 600 Capstone: Business Strategies
Simply put “The capstone is probably the single most important class in the entire program.” Its serves as the culminating experience in our MBA program, a capstone or thesis project bridges academic study and professional practice, applying the skills gained from an MBA to real-world business management and research. Thesis projects commonly take a more academic, research-based approach, while capstones focus on the practical side of business, often requiring students to identify and solve problems at real companies.
Capstones require students to synthesize everything they’ve learned from their MBA programs, serving as their best opportunity to demonstrate understanding of business principles and practices.
A student contemplating an independent study project must first find a faculty member who agrees to supervise and approve the student's written proposal as an independent study. If a student wishes the proposed work to be used to meet the requirement, he/she should then submit the approved proposal to the MBA adviser who will determine if it is an appropriate substitute. Such substitutions will only be approved prior to the beginning of the semester.
