Law, Business and Society Course DescriptionThis course is an introductory undergraduate course that provides students who have no previous knowledge with a basic understanding of the American legal system. The instructor will present legal cases and hypotheticals from the perspective of multiple stakeholders while focusing on the connection between law, business, and society. The instructor will also demonstrate how laws may reflect societal norms, promote material well-being and reflect economic/historical conditions. The course consists of a common core of customized course readings drawn upon judicial decisions, articles, podcasts, and other materials.
Professional Responsibility and Leadership Course DescriptionPRL is a required, interdisciplinary undergraduate capstone course that builds on prior coursework within the Social Impact Core Curriculum as well as other coursework at Stern and at NYU. The basic format of the course is a discussion seminar. These discussions draw on three different sources, including thoughtful insights drawn from a variety of academic disciplines in the liberal arts and sciences, business cases, and the students' own personal experiences and values.The course unfolds as a process of students and faculty working together in response to open-ended, age-old questions. Each class session may include a variety of activities, including discussion, in-class reading and writing, role-playing, and other exercises. These various activities will be designed and facilitated by the instructor to allow students to engage in reflective dialogue. The instructor's teaching style should be highly interactive.
