Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The minor in Finance provides the student with specialization in the area of financial services. This growing service area includes careers in banking, brokerage firms, investments, and insurance.

Students must attain a 2.0 or higher in each course that serves as a prerequisite to a subsequent Business course. (Refer to the course description for specific prerequisites.) Failure to attain a 2.0 in prerequisite courses may lengthen the time to graduation. Students graduating with a declared major in Finance may not simultaneously declare a minor in Finance.
