MA 251  will fulfill both the Finance major requirement and the Mathematics core requirement.

MA 251  should be taken in the sophomore year. Students should take any necessary prerequisites in the first year depending on their math placement.

BA 240  and BA 241  are to be taken in the sophomore year. Students should take BA 240 in the Fall and BA 241 in the Spring.

FIN 325  should be taken either in the 2nd or 3rd year, as it is a prerequisite for many upper level classes.

Internships are registered in the semester in which they end, therefore cumulative internship experiences (micro, virtual) will be registered when the student achieves the desired 120 hours tracked by the department/program governing the internship discipline.
