Important Notes 

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
