Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Finance minor promotes financial literacy by providing a foundation of financial principles. Designed for students from all majors, the Finance minor teaches students how to analyze both professional and personal financial decisions.

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.
