Students who major in finance develop skills and expertise in financial decision-making. Every student is required to take three courses in the finance curriculum. These courses provide a general background in the field of finance. Students must obtain a grade of C or better in ACG 2021C, ACG 2071 and FIN 3408 to graduate. This is not petitionable. Students then must take the three required finance courses.
Finance majors are advised
that they may take no more than two (2) additional finance courses as free
electives. That is, any additional free electives must be taken outside
of the major.
