MG 580 – Managing Financial Decisions is designed to help future leaders feel confident navigating the financial side of management. Using Justin Marlowe’s Managing Financial Decisions as our guide, we explore how organizations assess financial health, build and manage budgets, evaluate costs and revenues, plan for capital investments, manage debt, and think strategically about risk and long-term sustainability. More importantly, we focus on how financial decisions shape people, priorities, and outcomes. In this Master of Management course, finance is not just about numbers—it’s about stewardship, accountability, and making thoughtful choices that balance performance with long-term impact. Students will learn to interpret financial information, ask better questions, and use financial insight to lead responsibly and effectively.

This course is designed as an introduction to Middle East and North African Politics (MENA) through a comparative framework. By utilizing established techniques of comparative analysis and concepts we will focus on the internal political, social and economic processes and actors in the Middle East. Additionally, the events of the “Arab Spring” on domestic power structures will be carefully examined. Additionally, this will be an in-depth study of politics and foreign policy in the Middle East. Therefore, we will also examine Middle East politics as it relates to international relations and organizations. For example, we will examine issues such as the very important Arab-Israeli-Palestinian relationship, specific interstate rivalries in the Middle East (Iran v Iraq), the role of super-power politics, ongoing Middle East Peace negotiations, the political economy of oil, and the effect of religious diversity on politics, among others. We will look at the history, development, and locus of power in Mid East Politics. Because of these wide-ranging dynamics, this is a course in both comparative politics and international relations.
Additionally, this course serves as the fora through which AQ prepares and participates in the Michigan Model Arab League.

This course introduces Women's and Gender Studies as a field of interdisciplinary study and research. Students read classic and contemporary texts from the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences to introduce core concepts, issues and institutions affecting gendered lives, the social construction of difference, the interaction of gender with related categories of difference and identity, and feminist epistemologies. Students analyze cultural representations of women and gender and consider how gender, in connection with race, class, ethnicity, sexuality, age, and ability, impacts identities and shapes perceptions, thinking, and actions in everyday life. As part of the course, students also plan and execute a WGS-related program for the community.
