INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGISTRATION
1. Students are advised to register early in order to assure that they will receive the classes of their choice. Because of limited class size, some courses are usually closed before in-person registration. Please consult with an advisor in the Graduate Business Office if you are unsure of your program requirements. Advisors may be contacted by phone, mail, or in person. Students are responsible for all prerequisite requirements before they schedule upper level courses. Taking an upper level course and obtaining a satisfactory grade will not eliminate the need to fulfill the Foundation Core requirement. If a student is found to have registered for a course without having taken the prerequisite course, the student will be dropped from the course and withdrawal penalties will be applied.

MBA 4315 331 SHAREHOLDER VALUE MANAGEMENT - ONLINE
This is an online course and, as such, is designed to be both synchronous and asynchronous. Enrolled students need to have access to a computer with (1) a reliable high-speed Internet connection as course materials include large audio files to be downloaded and (2) working speakers and a microphone for online classroom participation. Depending on the location a student intends to utilize for online class participation, consideration should be given to purchasing or otherwise having available headphones with an attached microphone to minimize feedback issues. The class will meet online in the Blackboard Live Classroom on the first night of the scheduled class - instructions for accessing the Live Classroom will be provided to each student via e-mail prior to the class. Additional online class sessions will be held regularly during the semester - specific dates will be provided at the beginning of the semester. More independent study/research is required in an online course than in the more traditional lecture format. In order to be successful in the course, a student should be comfortable with the use of a computer online and relate well to the less-structured distance learning environment.
DSS 5015 SIX SIGMA APPLICATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS
This course is the first of a two course sequence that prepares the student for the six sigma Green Belt certification examination. Topics include introduction of Six sigma and its vocabulary, review of business statistics focusing on hypothesis testing and multiple regression, experimental design and Analysis of Variance, statistical process control, analytic hierarchy process, discrete event simulation and other tools of six sigma. This course includes roughly half of the material covered on the green belt certification exam.
FIN 5235 ESTATE PLANNING - ONLINE
This course is an online course, as such it is designed to be both synchronous and asynchronous. Any classes will be held in the blackboard environment. Class will meet online in the live classroom on the first night of the scheduled class, at that time further meetings will be discussed. Enrolled students will need to have access to a computer with a reliable high-speed internet connection for interaction with the instructor for scheduled class times. Additionally, students should run the wizard in the live classroom to insure the most efficient use of that venue. Students do have voice capability in the live classroom, and to maximize that opportunity, students should purchase or have available headphones with attached mike to minimize feedback issues in the broadcast. Various internet sites will be used for research and news. Students will be required to do more independent study/research than in a traditional lecture format and are comfortable with the use of a computer on the internet and relate well to the less-structured distance learning aspects of the course.
