Finance builds on the business core and focuses on decision making in three interrelated areas: managerial finance, investments, and financial markets and institutions. The business core and finance specialization courses provide academic preparation for a wide variety of entry-level positions in managerial finance and the financial services industry.

BSBA Program Admission Requirements Total Credits: 40


Students must apply and be accepted into the major prior to beginning 300- or 400-level business coursework.

These criteria apply to equivalent courses transferred from other institutions.

Students who have met all of the above requirements will be admitted unless the number of applicants exceeds available space. In that case, acceptance will be competitive, based on a selection index.
