Revised 7/20/17

Economics Major + Finance Minor

Program Notes:

Students may not declare the Finance minor prior to being accepted to the School of Business as an Accounting,

Business Administration or Economics major.

The suggested academic plan is provided to help students observe all related prerequisites and the rotation of

offerings.

o Not every course must be taken in the semester indicated (e.g., ECON 305 is offered fall and spring

semesters.) However, ECON 305 is a prerequisite for ECON 307.

o Courses are offered every semester except where noted.

o Economics majors must take ACCT 301 and ACCT 302 to fulfill the Finance minor. ACCT 102 is the pre-

requisite for ACCT 301.

o ECON/FNCE 325, Money and Financial Intermediation, counts toward the Economics major and the

Finance minor.

o To fulfill the requirements in the most efficient manner, students should:

Complete the lower-division requirements for the Economics major plus ACCT 102 and ACCT

103, by the end of the sophomore year.

Take Intermediate Microeconomics (ECON 210) as soon as possible after finishing ECON 110.

Take Intermediate Macroeconomics (ECON 212) as soon as possible after finishing ECON 112.

Take FNCE 311, Managerial Finance, in the fall semester of the junior year, along with ACCT 301.

Note, ACCT 301 is only offered in fall semesters. ACCT 302 is only offered in spring semesters.

If electing FNCE 312, note the course is offered only in fall semesters and FNCE 311 is a

prerequisite.

Note, space in FNCE/ACCT 315, Financial Statement Analysis, is limited in fall semesters.

Students must have the permission of the instructor because it is a combined graduate and

undergraduate class.

Special attention should be given to residency requirements (the minimum number of courses which must be

taken at Geneseo).

o A minimum of 50% of all required courses for the Economics major must be taken at Geneseo.

o A minimum of 9 credit hours of 300-level ECON classes must be taken at Geneseo.

o A minimum of 12 credits in the minor must be taken at Geneseo.

A minimum grade of C- is required in all courses.

Students in the Finance minor are strongly encouraged to become involved with the Student Managed

Investment Fund (SMIF) as early as the freshman year. Completion of FNCE 250, FNCE 251 and FNCE 252 earns a

total of 3 credit hours toward electives. See Finance Minor for more details.

For additional information, please see your advisor or the Director of Student Services. The Finance minor is only

available to students majoring in Accounting, Business Administration or Economics. Pre-majors and majors outside

the School of Business may not declare a Finance minor.
