COSC 2710 Social Engineering and Society (3) This course provides the student with current information defining the many methods of deception hackers use in order to gather information with the intent of executing identity theft, fraud, or gaining computer system access; discusses activities toward preventing social engineering threats ranging from elicitation, pretexting, influence and manipulation. The elements of social engineering are presented, discussed and explained by using real-world examples, and the science behind them to unravel the mystery in social engineering. This course also explores technological, social and philosophical issues to include the ramifications of automation, the ethical obligations of computer specialists, and the threats to privacy that come with increased computerization. Combining the criminal-centric role of social engineering with the ethical, legal and moral impacts of technology upon individuals results in a course that provides the student a comprehensive overview of the challenges, threats and issues of everyday life in the digital age.

ECON 2000 Survey of Economics (3)
This course provides students a broad survey of the discipline of economics. The emphasis is on the acquisition of a broad conceptual understanding of how academic and professional economists "view" the world. Given the importance of understanding "markets" to both business and public policy, the heaviest emphasis is on how markets function and a smaller emphasis on the business cycle and macroeconomic policy. ECON 2020 Principles of Microeconomics (3) Studies institutions and process of market specialization and exchange, pricing and output, competition and monopoly, government regulation, current economic problems, and international economic developments. ECON 2030 Principles of Macroeconomics (3) Covers economic activity and growth, determination of income, employment, output, inflation, aggregate demand and supply, money and banking, monetary and fiscal policies, and international economic issues. ECON 3020 Intermediate Microeconomics (3) This course covers advanced theory and applications in microeconomics. Topics include utility theory, consumer and firm choice, optimization, goods and services markets, resource markets, strategic behavior, and market equilibrium. Prerequisite: ECON 2000. ECON 3030 Intermediate Macroeconomics (3) This course covers advanced theory and applications in macroeconomics. Topics include growth, determination of income, employment and output, aggregate demand and supply, the business cycle, monetary and fiscal policies, and international
COSC 3810 Principles of Programming Languages (3)
This course is a study of the design, evaluation, and implementation of programming languages. It focuses on the principles of design and evaluation and their relationship to the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of programming languages. Prerequisites: COSC 1560 and junior standing. COSC 4110 Database Concepts (3) Students in this course will study database design using the relational model and the Entity-Relationship model. Students will study and use the SQL query language. Database design considerations will include data integrity, relational integrity, redundancy, and security. Students will develop a logical design for a database that will be implemented in COSC 4120. Prerequisites: COSC 1560, COSC 2810 and junior standing. Designed to teach the student the fundamentals of object-oriented software analysis and design. Presents the theoretical aspects of object- oriented software design but focuses on the practical issues surrounding object-oriented software analysis and design and the format of the design process as it exists in an industrial setting. The student gains experience in the design aspect of the systems development life cycle. Prerequisites: COSC 2810 and COSC 3100.
