Academic departments and programs are  generally listed in alphabetical order. All courses are listed under the department or program in which they are offered. Courses which are cross-listed will appear in more than one place.

Course Designations

Courses of instruction are designated by a system of four-digit numbers within each department. The first digit in the number indicates the class standing that a student must attain to be eligible for the course. To interpret the numbering system, students need to know that:

  • Courses generally for freshmen are numbered in the series beginning 1000. Freshmen may not register for any course numbered 2000 or above, except by placement or with the permission of the instructor. Similarly, sophomores may not register for courses numbered 3000 or above, or juniors 4000 or above, with exceptions permitted only by the instructor.
  • Cross-listed courses are courses appropriate to more than one department or area.
  • The number of credit hours per course is indicated below the course title. Courses which may be taken for variable credit (applied music lessons, independent studies, internships, etc.) or which can be repeated for credit are so indicated.
  • Prerequisites for each course are so indicated following the description.
  • Special Topics, Internships, and Independent Studies courses are listed with numbers separated by semicolons. These courses may be taken in any order.
  • The (FR) designation after a number indicates that the course is offered only as a first-year seminar.

  • BUA 2102 - Multicultural Management

    Credits: 4
    Today project management in a diverse multicultural environment is at the heart of everyday business. Managing projects is also key in managing business change: all projects, in some way, result from and give rise to change.
       
    Many project management publications focus on elements such as engineering or information technology, removing the focus from business needs. This course is designed to demonstrate the value of project management as an aid to international / multinational business in general, reflecting both the purpose of projects and the way that they are managed.
       
    The course will provide students with a sound view on what project management is, why it matters, and how to achieve best practice in it:
       - A key feature of projects is that they differ from normal line management, often suffering a poor relationship with what is often referred to as ‘the day job’. The cause of this is explored, setting the scene for proposed remedies.
       - The provision of control is also introduced in terms of organization, interrelationships of multiple cultures (both national and organizational culture), risk management and finance.
       
    This course is designed to provide students with a flexible, efficient process that provides planning without overkill and control without being cumbersome. Students will learn the proven basic project management tools and techniques to manage both short and long-term projects. Therefore, the course provides:
       - a definition of what project management is, how it differs from other management, and how it has evolved;
       - consideration of the key cultural issues which arise in business that must be dealt with when contemplating projects;
       - a (simple) structure for multicultural project management that is easy to follow, based on proven techniques.
       
    This course explores the place of projects in business in all sectors. It discusses the myth that there are such things as ‘construction projects’ or ‘IT projects’ or ‘relocation projects’, building on real life experiences to demonstrate that all the functions of any organization need to work together, and that no single function can act without affecting the others.

     
    Note:  Offered at Budapest campus only.
    McDaniel Plan: Multicultural European
