BUS 342H - Corporate Finance, 3 credit hours

Open to students formally accepted into Business Honors, University Honors students who elect these course to satisfy upper level requirements, and business students with Business Honors Director approval. The course will draw from fundamental theory and casework to emphasize learning tools for managerial decision-making with emphasis on the triple bottom line and its impact on sustainable business practices. Students will develop their analytical and problem-solving skills by learning how financial statements affect project management decisions. They will study valuation tools such as net-present-value, internal-rate-of- return, and payback period and will learn the dynamics of long-term and short-term cash flow needs and the related risks. Students will apply methods like capital budgeting and cash flow analysis and develop these tools to effectively resolve capital financing concerns, all of which are essential skills for the sustainability related consulting proposal and implementation project in the BUS 461H and BUS 462H courses.
