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. 
  • 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.  
  • If BAIT is your first, second, or third major, or if you pursue a concentration in Business Analytics, you must take 33:136:386 Business Operations Analytics. 
  • 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.
