Note 1: If you have taken BUSI 3250, you can take a special topics course (BUSI 4970 – Special Topics in International Business) as a replacement. However, this course is only available IF you have already taken BUSI 3250 and must be approved before you register for the program. You must be able to take the full set of courses offered to be eligible for this program. If you cannot take a full set of courses from those listed above as structured, you should instead consider the FLEX program which has more course options.
Note 2: You must complete either ACCT 2110 or 2117 before entering the program if taking FINC 3610 since it is a prerequisite for FINC 3610.
Note 3: If you are in the Honors College and would like to get Honors credit for your coursework, 12 hours can be taken for Honors credit, but they must be taken as a set (no individual Honors course contracting allowed for this program). Honors students must choose Principles of Finance as one of the choice options to get Honors credit.
Honors course Set: FINC 3617, MNGT 3107, MKTG 3317, and BUSI 3257 plus either SCMN
