Finance — BS

The study of finance prepares students to understand the financial implications inherent in virtually all business decisions. Students majoring in Finance are prepared for entry-level careers in corporate management, depository institutions, investment management, and financial services. The finance curriculum emphasizes financial markets, evaluation of investments, and efficient allocation of resources. The major in Finance consists of the following courses:

ACC 315 Financial Accounting and Reporting (3)

FIN 331 Financial Markets and Institutions (3)

FIN 361 Managerial Finance (3)

FIN 421 Security Analysis and Portfolio Management (3)

FIN 461 Financial Cases and Modeling L (3)

One additional approved 400-level FIN course (3)

Total 18

As part of the requirements, all Finance majors must complete ACC 250 Introductory Accounting Lab. Finance majors are strongly advised to take ACC 316 Management Uses of Accounting. FIN 484 Finance Internship is available for nonmajor elective credit.

ACC 250 must be completed before taking ACC 315. FIN 300 must be completed before taking FIN 361. FIN 331 and 361 and ACC 315 must be completed before taking 400-level FIN courses.

Major Proficiency Requirements

Students must receive grades of “C” (2.00) or higher in upper-division courses for the major. If a student receives a grade below “C” (2.00) in any course in the major, this course must be repeated before taking any further courses for which this course is a prerequisite. If a second grade below “C” (2.00) is received in either an upper-division course in the major already taken or in a different upper-division course in the major, the student is no longer eligible to take additional upper-division courses in that major.

Graduation Requirements

In addition to fulfilling major requirements, students seeking a degree must meet all university and school requirements. See University Graduation Requirements, and School Degree Requirements.
