Important Notes
- If Accounting & Accounting Information Systems (AIS) is your first, second, or third major, you must take 33:010:458 Accounting Information Systems, 33:140:320 Business Law I, and 33:010:275 Managerial Accounting. While 33:522:334 Business Ethics, 33:136:370 Management Information Systems, and 33:136:386 Business Operations Analytics count toward graduation credits, they do not satisfy Accounting & AIS major requirements. Students pursuing both the BAIT and Accounting & AIS majors must complete both 33:136:386 Business Operations Analytics and 33:010:275 Managerial Accounting.
- To major in Finance or to pursue a concentration in Finance or Real Estate, you must earn a grade of B or higher in 33:390:300 Financial Management.
- If you earned credit for 33:011:300 Business Forum, you do not need to complete 33:011:301 Foundations for Your Career Journey, 302 Building Your Brand, or 303 Conquering Your Transition.
- Students with more than one Business School major may only double count one RBS course between those majors (not including the Business Core).
