We will cover the four primary financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, statement of stockholders equity, and statement of cash flows ), the supporting footnotes to these statements, and several reports (annual reports, proxy statements, and press releases).

7 The course incorporates both a preparer s perspective ( , GAAP requirements for recording and presenting financial information) and a user's perspective ( , how an investor or analyst can interpret and use financial statement information). Graded Pass/Fail. FIN 510 Introduction to Finance The main topics to be covered are (1) principles of investments, (2) financial analysis of corporate projects, (3) cost of capital, and (4) capital structure and financing policies. The objective of the company is assumed to be shareholder value maximization. Shareholder value is created by earning more than the cost of capital. The cost of capital is an opportunity cost what investors could expect to earn on comparable investments in the financial markets.

8 To understand the cost of capital, we need to understand the viewpoint of investors. Furthermore, to understand whether a project earns more than the cost of capital, we need to know how to estimate and discount project cash flows . So, the first three topics are closely connected. The main question in the fourth topic is whether we can create shareholder value through the financial structure of the firm. For example, we will ask whether we can lower the cost of capital by financing with debt instead of equity, or vice versa. Graded Pass/Fail. OMM 510 Operations Management Foundations This required course discusses the main principles and concepts in managing operations for competitive success.

9 Among the topics covered are: Operations strategy, capacity analysis and organization, queuing theory, service Management , quality Management , inventory Management , and a brief introduction to Supply Chain Management . Students learn the basics of how to manage the operations of a firm, with the main goal of this course being to prepare students for advanced coursework in operations and Supply Chain Management , beginning in the Fall A term. Most sessions consist of in-depth case discussion, integrated with theory. Letter-graded. 2 Credits. Fall Semester (12 Credits) DAT 561 Intro to Python and Data Science This MSSCM course provides students the necessary skill set to extract reliable insights from large datasets prevalent in Supply Chain Management .

10 In this course, students will develop basic tools to acquire, clean, and analyze Supply Chain data, which they will then use to improve decision-making processes. Throughout the course, students will use the Python programming language, which is very effective for data manipulation, reporting, and complex optimization. Topics covered include current multi-source data collection technology used in Supply Chain Management , how to transfer data into analyzable formats, how to generate static and interactive data visualizations to gain Supply Chain insights, and predictive analytics in Supply Chain Management - with emphasis on machine learning models for demand forecasting and inventory Management optimization.
