Proposal Title: Changes in Finance concentrations plus new minor

This proposal consists of relatively minor changes within the concentration in General Commercial Banking (including a name change) and General Finance concentration within the BBA in Finance. It also includes the introduction of a new minor. These changes are the result of conversations with and the input of several banks and other financial institutions and are designed to revise the curriculum to a more up-to-date and business relevant curriculum. Specifically, the changes are: 1 - The introduction of a new course (Bank Lending (FIN 4329)). 2 - The change in title of FIN 4311 from Commercial Bank Management to Bank Management. Also, update in the required minimum grades for the FIN 3310 pre-req (from D to C) 3- For Finance 4312 update in the required minimum grades for the FIN 4311 pre-req (from D to C) 4- The change in the title of the Gen'I Comm. Banking concentration to Banking and Financial Institutions concentration. 5 - The introduction to FIN 4329 to the requirements of the Banking and Financial Institutions concentration. 6 - Elimination of a number of potential elective courses from the Banking and Financial Institutions concentration. 7 - Elimination of ECON 3310 as a core business requirement for General Finance, Financial Analysts, Risk Management, and Banking and Financial Institutions concentrations, ECON 3320 being the required ECON core business requirement. 8 • In the General Finance concentration, addition of FIN 4329 as a possible elective course. 9 - Introduction of a new minor (Banking and Financial Institutions), available for business (non-finance) majors.

Currently the degree plan separates the main degree requirements from the concentration courses. However, with the changes in the concentrations the degree plans need to be fully displayed separately for each concentration. This is why all concentrations are marked through in the degree plan and are re-added farther on in this document. jr

BBA in Finance with a Concentration in Risk Management The concentration in Risk Management within the BBA in Finance is built around the general concept of digital Integration. Digital integration applies the theory of Actuarial Science and Finance using common computer software (Excel, SAS, Eviews) with real world data, so that the students are prepared to perform on-the-job from day one. Academy Leaming encourages students to interact, to improve their understanding of the material, and to model the personal interaction in the insurance industry. These concepts form the basis of the degree plan and model the skills used in the working environment of the business world.

Educational Objectives

1. Students will be prepped to take and pass two of the required exams to become an actuary: the P (Probability) and F/M (Financial Mathematics) exam, administered by the SOA. Students will are strongly encouraged to take the F/M exam in the Spring of their sophomore year and the P exam in the Spring of their junior year. Specific prep classes are part of the degree plan. In addition, the students will be prepped to take the MLC (Models for Life Contingencies) exam based on the material covered, after graduation. Second,

2. Students will have strong skills applying common computer software that is widely used in the insurance industry. They will be able to build complex Excel spread sheets, write VBA Excel macros, create statistical and forecast models in SAS, manipulate and organize large datasets in SAS and Excel, and develop actuarial models based on the life market. Finally, their

3. Business and interpersonal skills will be developed based on the Academy Leaming design, business workshops, and through written reports and presentations.

Minor Information

I. Need

A. Job Market Need - Provide short- and long-term evidence of the need for graduates in the job market.

The Texas Bankers Association, as well as a variety financial institutions in the region have made it clear that there is a lack of qualified graduates who are ready to perform at a high level in the financial sector. These institutions vary from credit unions, commercial and community banks, to major bank holders. Their involvement in creating the minor (and associated concentration) from a curricular perspective, the design of the accompanying professional development activities, and their financial support for the program are clear evidence of the need for students graduating from the program.

B. Student Demand - Provide short- and long-term evidence of demand for the minor.

Based on a survey of students at COBA, a substantial percentage (37%) stated to have an interest (or are currently working) in the financial (services) sector. Currently, these students do not have the option of taking any specialized banking courses. It is also important to note that for students who are interested in specialized undergraduate coursework resulting in a degree in banking and related areas, there are no options to pursue such work at within a range of at 300 miles.

C. Enrollment Projections - Use this table to show the estimated cumulative headcount and full-time student equivalent (FTSE) enrollment for the first five years of the minor. (Include majors only and consider attrition and graduation.)
