Business Minors
Analytical Finance Minor
Available to non-business students only.
The minor in analytical finance is intended for students with a secondary interest in either general corporate finance or investments.

Completion of ACCT 260 Principles of Accounting I, ECON 201 Microeconomics, and one three-credit course in statistics with a minimum GPA of 2.00 and no lower than a C- in any one class is required to enroll in upper division courses required in the minor.
