Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 4, 8 | 04 08 | Day | Su 13Summer | This program will examine the art and science of marketing services, as reflected in the theories, models, and techniques employed in the marketing discipline today.The focus of this program is on marketing as a contemporary, real-world practice, including the analytical tools and techniques used by professionals in the field. The added wrinkle in this iteration of the program will be applying these tools to organizations and industries where the product provided is based more on services provided than on physical goods. While the classic marketing literature takes primarily a goods-based perspective, modern applications and theories are increasingly focused on services, given their increasing importance in the economy nationally and globally. Our study will include a review of the literature on researching consumers, employees (service providers) and markets, as well as multiple case studies of real-world organizations providing services (for-profit, non-profit). We will then move on to focus on segmentation, targeting, and differentiation strategies for organizations, with an overview of topics related to product, distribution, communications, and pricing issues.While the program can be taken safely as an introductory course, the readings and assignments will be comparable to a second year marketing course, e.g., marketing management. | David Shaw | Tue Thu | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Summer | ||||

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 8 | 08 | Day | Su 13Summer | This course provides an introduction to the Classical Latin language, that is, the language of the later Roman Republic and the earlier Roman Empire—the language of authors like Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Tacitus. It also prepares one to read Medieval, Renaissance, or Ecclesiastical Latin texts. The principle objective of the course is the development of our ability to read ancient Latin texts as well as you can, as soon as you can. Another considerable benefit is a greater understanding of the vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of related languages, including the prominent spoken languages in the United States, English and Spanish, as well as French and Italian. You will also improve your grasp of the specialized languages of the sciences, law, and philosophy; as such, Latin is a great way to prepare for law school or medical school. Last, but not least, you will acquire the unmistakable sophistication, ,and seductive wit that distinguish the student of the Classics. This intensive summer course constitutes roughly 2/3 of a traditional 3-quarter or two-semester first – year Latin course. At its completion students should have a solid grounding in basic Latin vocabulary, forms, and syntax, and with some additional study, they will soon be able to read texts of moderate difficulty with the help of a dictionary and grammar. | Ulrike Krotscheck | Mon Tue Wed Thu | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Summer | ||||
