Well, the last quarter of my UCSB career is about to start and I thought I would share what classes I will be taking. I have finished all my graduation and major requirements, so these classes below are “just for fun” classes or classes that interest me and could prove helpful as I begin my career. The classes I plan to take are:

Forensic Accounting (Econ 132B):

This course provides an overview of the methodology of fraud examination which involves obtaining documentary evidence, interviewing witnesses and potential suspects, writing investigative reports, testifying to findings, and forensic document examination. Students will apply prevention, detection, and investigative strategies to determine why and how occupational fraud is committed. Students will analyze human behaviors that are difficult to identify and quantify (such as greed, deception, and cheating) that can be deterred, investigated, and prosecuted.

Business Law and Ethics (Econ 189):

Course provides a basic understanding of ethics and the legal framework within which U.S. businesses operate. Includes a broad overview of court procedures and in-depth coverage of selected topics including contracts, securities, and property rights.

International Finance (Econ 181):

International money and capital markets and their impact on the domestic and world economies; international financial institutions and policies.

International Trade (Econ 180):

International trade theory and policies with examples from current issues and problems.
