This course is an introduction to financial management concepts and business practices. It includes the topics of accounting, finance and related analytical and performance management techniques that have particular relevance to managers. In this course, you should become fluent in the issues, data, and concepts of financial decision-making at the organizational level. By the conclusion of this course, you should understand what financial managers do in an organization and how to deal more effectively with them on issues of business and program strategy. This will require you to be able to: use basic business mathematics to inform decision making; understand how organizations are financed; read and understand a set of financial statements; calculate and interpret financial ratios; and perform a financial analysis; conduct basic cost analyses and understand their role in managerial decision-making; prepare and discuss a budget, the sources and importance of variance, and the concept of flexible budgeting as a control device; understand investment project decision making and be able to compute measures of return (NPV, breakeven); use Excel to create, interpret, and present results from financial models.

Throughout the history of music, many women have been revered as performers, mostly singers or virtuoso keyboard artists. In reality, contributions to music by women are much more varied than that of performer. As composers and inspiration for composers, women have been responsible for the creation of a significant body of compositions in every historical era. As steadfast patrons of the arts, vast numbers of commissions were granted, compositions written, music clubs established, performers employed, and concert halls created. This study of music created and inspired by female composers combined with an understanding of their considerable philanthropy will cast a new light upon the roles of women in music.
