	HIS 528 - Black Gender Sexuality in U.S. Culture (3 credits) In this course, we will trace the development of ideas and cultural debates about black gender and sexuality in U.S. culture. We will emphasize several things. One is how whites have used ideas about black man-/womanhood to define what it means to be “black,” and the impact these definitions have had on public policy and social practices. Another is how blacks have resisted these characterizations (and the social inequality that often resulted from them), created their own definitions of their gender and sexual identities, and tried to shape public policy and social practices in ways that reflected these self conceptions. A third focus will be debates within black communities regarding appropriate gender and sexual norms, conflicts rooted in class, gender, sexual, and political differences (among others).

Visual Basic .Net is used to teach solid programming concepts and practices. The course is divided into two parts: (a) An introduction to foundations in programming, and (b) Advanced development of business solutions using the OOP approach. The first part of the course teaches the elementary building blocks of programming; variables, arrays, user-defined types, flow-control, and decision making. The goal of the second of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of object-oriented system development. Though the main focus of the course is on the VB. NET programming language and its use in OO system development, it also provides in-depth introductions to ASP.NET and HTML programming languages. Click here for the schedule of courses
	IST 601 - IT for Competitive Advantage (3 credits) Provides an understanding and appreciation for the role of information technology and how this technology is leading changes in an organization. Discusses the competitive role of IT and how it affects the strategy and operation of modern business organizations nationally and internationally. Enables students to lead technology-enabled organizational change involving collaboration technologies. Click here for the schedule of courses
	IST 602 - Advanced Programming of Business Systems (4 credits) Prerequisite: IST 600. Presents a large set of algorithms important to a variety of programming situations commonly needed to implement advanced business systems. Different types of data structures are presented in an attempt to find the model that best suits a given problem. Introduces the concepts of static and dynamic data types and includes in-depth discussion of Visual Basic class modules. Efficiency issues are discussed. Students are exposed to advanced database programming techniques using Data Object Model in Visual Basic. Click here for the schedule of courses
	IST 603 - Systems Analysis Methods (3 credits) Prerequisite: IST 600. Introduces basic systems principles and concepts; logical analysis, design and modeling of software systems with emphasis on object oriented systems; use of Unified Modeling Language, the Rational Unified Process, and CRC cards; use CASE tools, with emphasis on use cases and use case diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams, and state diagrams.

	IST 606 - Management of Business Networks (3 credits) Prerequisite: IST 602. Introduces the managerial and technical aspects of business networks including the hardware and software mechanisms that allow access from one computer to files and services provided on other computers. An overview of Local Area Nets (LAN) and Wide Area Nets (WAN) is provided, as are those of software protocols, routers, bridges, and firewalls. On the practical side, the student learns about the network services provided by the operating system (Windows/NT), network analyzers, and the management of security and reliability. The student also learns to install, configure, and test network hardware/software, and use such facilities in practical applications including e-mail, remote file access, client/server hookups, and dial-up networking.
