• Receive approval to substitute the Corporate Finance core courses with 1.0 cu of any upper-level FNCE course. This can be a 1 cu upper-level FNCE course or two .05 cu upper-level finance courses

These courses serve as an introduction to business finance (corporate financial management and investment) for both non-majors and majors preparing for upper-level coursework.

Students must fulfill the following CU requireements, regardless of any substitutions granted:

• If you are a finance major, you must complete a minimum of 2.0 CUs in Corporate Finance and Macroeconomics
• If you are not a finance major, you must complete a minimum of 1.5 CUs in Corporate Finance and Macroeconomics

SUBSTITUTE BY CREDENTIALS

While it is not possible to waive the Corporate Finance requirement in its entirety, students will have the option to replace the class with any upper-level finance course if they have met ONE of the following criteria:

1) Completed a college level course in corporate finance with a grade of B+ or better within the last 7 years

2) Have passed all three CFA exams

Students who meet the above criteria will be permitted to substitute the Corporate Finance core class by completing any upper-level finance course. The substitution class can be taken at any time during the student’s four semesters.

In the Pre-Evaluation period, the transcripts submitted in students’ admissions applications were reviewed for the above academic criteria, as well as CFA completion. Students who have met these criteria will see that the have been approved for a Corporate Finance substitution by credential.
