FINANCE ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2009 and after) |
|
This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab,
Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.
Finance is a limited-access major. To be admitted to finance, you must have completed at least 52 hours, have earned a “C-“ or better in the Admission Prerequisite Courses (CGS2100, MAC2233, ECO2013, ECO2023, ACG2021, & STA2023), and have the required overall GPA. Electives should focus on gaining additional exposure to the social and behavioral sciences and on improving communication and analytical reasoning skills. Finance is considered one of the basic functions of our private enterprise system. Each of the many firms, businesses, institutions, and government agencies in our economic system has the problem of obtaining, administering, and managing its funds efficiently and wisely. The finance major is designed as preparation for the wide variety of careers within finance.
