General Finance Minor

This minor offers a broad-based education in general finance. A particular field may be emphasized within this discipline, such as investments, managerial finance, financial institutions, or international finance. A student desiring a strong emphasis should also consider the financial services minor.

For the general finance minor, the student must have completed ACC 2010 (or the equivalent) ECO 2010, ECO 2020, and MTH 1320 which may be applied to the student’s General Studies or elective requirements as applicable. The Finance Department requires 60 credit hours (junior standing) prior to taking upperdivision finance courses. A minimum grade of “C-” is required in all finance minor courses. In order to meet the 18 credit hours requirement for a minor, a business major seeking a minor in finance will have FIN 3300 waived from the Business Core requirements. Students should note that programs differ in the minimum grade required. At least 9 hours of finance courses must be completed in residency at MSU Denver to satisfy the requirements of the minor.
