Completion of certain majors requires more than 120 hours to finish the degree. The credit hours within this curriculum are distributed as follows:

Requirements for the Major

*It is recommended that Finance majors take ACCT 3415 in lieu of ACCT 3311  and ACCT 3312 . They may choose to take ACCT 3311 and ACCT 3312, in which case ACCT 3311 is a pre-requisite for FINA 4347, and ACCT 3312 would be counted as a finance elective. Students who take ACCT 3415 may not then receive credit for ACCT 3311 or ACCT 3312.
