Description: The internship requirement is considered to be one of the most critical components of the Sport Management Program. Students will undertake a 12-15 week, full-time (40 hours per week) supervised internship. This opportunity is expected to enhance the student¿s academic experiences via a required industry analysis paper, a research project, weekly logs and a portfolio, as well as provide additional work experience and networking opportunities. Internship experiences may take place in any of the varied sport industry settings. Students may obtain internships in any region of the country and in some cases may receive financial compensation. Prerequisite: junior standing, BUS 311, 2.33 GPA or higher and permission of a School of Business advisor and instructor. Enrollment is normally limited to sport management (internship track) majors who have not completed degree requirements. May not be taken Pass/Fail. Cr 6.

Description: Prerequisites vary. Limited offerings. Cr 1-3.

Description: An in-depth examination of the strategic management process in large complex organizations. This course uses case study analysis, discussion and integrative capstone projects to provide students with opportunities to learn and to apply strategic management theories and concepts. These include competitive analysis, value-chain analysis, generic business strategies, corporate strategy, and global strategy. The course fulfills the capstone requirement of the USM Core. Prerequisites: BUS 260 (C- or higher), BUS 340 (C or higher), FIN 320 (C or higher), GPA 2.0 or higher, and senior standing. Students matriculating fall 2011 and later must fulfill the University Core Requirement of ¿Ethical Inquiry, Social Responsibility and Citizenship¿ prior to enrollment. Cr 3.

Description: A one-semester introduction to general, organic, and biological chemistry for the health sciences. Topics include acids and bases, pH, chemical kinetics and equilibria, the chemistry of organic compounds; carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids. This course is not suitable for chemistry majors, biology majors, or pre-professionals (pre-dental, pre-medical, pre-veterinary). Cr 3.

Description: A continuation of CHY 113K. This course is designed to provide the foundation for all further studies in chemistry and is a prerequisite for all upper-level chemistry courses. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in CHY 113. Cr 3.

Description: Laboratory experiments to illustrate the principles presented in CHY 115 lectures. One recitation and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in CHY 114. Pre- or corequisite: CHY 115. Cr 1.5.

Description: An intensive treatment of organic chemistry. Topics include: nomenclature; structure and stereochemistry; reaction types: substitution, addition, elimination and oxidation-reduction; reaction mechanisms and factors influencing them; spectroscopic techniques of structure determination (mass, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet-visible and infrared). Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in CHY 115. Cr 3.

Description: Students conduct independent research by executing a multi-step synthesis of a series of compounds. An additional goal is the characterization of the physical and chemical properties of the target molecules as well as the intermediates. Students will develop proficiency in synthetic methods, chromatography, and spectroscopy by working with model compounds. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in CHY 116. Pre- or corequisite: CHY 251. Cr 2.
