Undergraduate Business Administration students may not transfer more than six credits of 300/400 level courses from non-AACSB accredited programs and institutions into the major.

The vision of the School of Business and Economics is to be a community of choice and the regional leader in the acquisition, study, application and sharing of business, economics and information technology knowledge.  Consistent with this vision, the college is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.

The finance curriculum is designed to prepare students for successful careers in corporate finance, financial institutions and services, and for graduate study. For example, finance graduates secure jobs in banking, insurance, real estate, the investment industry, financial planning, and risk management.
