Notes
Rationale for the removal of BU103 Foundations of Business pre-requisite: This class is a deep dive into teams, leadership, motivation, and decision-making. It has some overlap with the BU103 content, but the BU103 content isn't a necessary pre-req to understand this course. There is currently a permission of instructor option, so removing the pre-req just simplifies the overall process and makes the class openly available to anyone.
