Notes:
1.

2. BUSN 2429 and FINC 1231 are highly recommended.
3. This course constitutes a 3000-4000 required Accounting elective. Students who have taken BUSN 3730 prior to the Winter 2016 semester will be able to use it in place of ACCT 4850.
4. A minimum of 45 credit hours must be upper level courses, e.g. at the 3000 or 4000 level. Please keep this in mind when choosing your electives. The 45 hours includes both required courses and electives.
5. There is a significant amount of work required to successfully complete BUSN 4500. Students are strongly encouraged to commence work on this course at an early date.
