This integrative course is the culminating course in the Master of Science in Health Care Management. All other required coursework must have been completed prior to receiving approval to register for this course. Students during the capstone experience will integrate health care management competencies, and acquired knowledge and skills that combine health care perspectives, theories, skills, and tools in an applied format. Final products include a comprehensive project that incorporates strategic and organizational components designed specific to health care systems. After documenting the above, students will discuss and defend their project orally.

This course explores the concepts related to ethical competence in decision-making, policymaking, and ensuring the rights and wellbeing of clients and staff. It further examines current laws and regulations that dictate codes of ethics and levels of professionalism. Ethical dilemmas faced by leaders and their impact on the organization and the broader community are investigated through case studies and critical thinking through dialogue.

Course is a graduate-level course on ordinary differential equations. It is designed to be accessible to first-year graduate students from math, science or engineering backgrounds who have had a first undergraduate course in differential equations, along with a standard calculus sequence. The course is designed to begin with an intensive review of undergraduate differential equations and then will proceed to handle more advanced concepts, starting with multi-dimensional coupled systems of ordinary differential equations, exponential matrix solutions, using coordinate transformations for conversion to standard forms, nonlinear systems and transform-based solutions, using coordinate transformations for conversion to standard forms, nonlinear systems and transform-based techniques. The course will have an interdisciplinary and applied style and will cover the following topics: Intense review of undergraduate differential equations, Power Series and Fourier Series solutions, Multi-dimensional D.E.s, eigenvectors and Jordan forms, Numerical Methods, Nonlinear D.E.s Dynamical Systems and Chaos.

Investigations of graduate-level problems or topics in Integrated Applied Mathematics. May be repeated barring duplication of subject.
