As the study of finance is designed to provide the student with both the theoretical background and the analytical tools required to make effective judgments in finance, many students select careers in business financial management, commercial and investment banking, investments, government finance, insurance, and real estate. Three additional Finance courses must be taken. Courses taken to fulfill major requirements may not be taken on a credit-no credit basis. It is recommended that Finance majors take 15 hours of accounting. Accy 201 and 202 are required.
Many employers look favorably upon additional accounting courses.
It is possible to earn enough hours to take the CPA exam. For those interested in managerial control and decision making, we would recommend Accy 301 and Accy 302, followed by Accy 304, followed by Accy 312. The Accy department recommends that 301 and 302 be taken concurrently . It is possible, though, to select courses to match areas of interest. See an academic advisor in 214 DKH for assistance.
