Course Descriptions

ECN-101: Introductory Macroeconomics (3 credits)

The course is a survey of economic systems, American capitalism, market structures and mechanism, macroeconomic measurements and theories and how these principles of macroeconomics relate to the basic themes of cross-cultural perspective, social justice and global citizenship.

Fulfills the core requirement in social sciences.

PHL-280: Environmental Ethics (3 credits)

The course considers our relationship with the natural world, and the responsibilities that we have toward it, by way of a variety of moral positions including ecological virtue ethics, sustainability models, deep ecology, eco-pragmatism, eco-feminism, animal rights and, most especially, stewardship models that align with Salve’s mission. As topics such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, species extinction, climate refugees and alternative energy sources have broad and far-reaching implications, the course draws upon other areas of study as well, such as ecology, public policy, economics and the arts.

Fulfills the core requirement in philosophy.

STA-173: Statistical Methods (3 credits)

The course addresses a broad spectrum of fundamental statistics concepts, including exploratory data analysis, basic probability distributions, sampling distributions, interval estimations, hypothesis testing and significance testing (P-Values) with single, paired and two-sample problems.

Fulfills the core requirement in mathematics.
