Globalization: Good or Bad?

You have heard about how Wal-Mart and China steal jobs; maybe someone in your family has lost a job due to foreign competition. This class will consider both pros (cheap stuff) and cons (lost jobs) of globalization. Do you know how it might effect your education and career in this "flat world?" Find out this semester.

This course is tentatively scheduled to meet on Wednesdays at 2:00p.m.

Note: Please check the schedule of classes for the most up-to-date information about meeting times, locations, and availability.
