All students in the major must take a common core of three courses: BUS-A 310, BUS-F 303, and BUS-F 305. These three courses provide a basic grounding in financial accounting systems, the capital and money markets, and corporate financial decision making. An understanding of these areas is necessary for someone who is planning a career in finance.
