All applicants must complete specific business foundation courses (see below) with a cumulative overall GPA of 3.00 or better, and an upper division GPA of 3.4 or better, prior to enrollment in the MSF program.

Minimum Finance prerequisites include Financial Accounting (ACG 2021 or its equivalent), an introductory course in Financial Management (FIN 3403 or its equivalent), Investments (FIN 4504 or its equivalent), and Problems in Financial Management (FIN 4424 or its equivalent). All students without acceptable real world work experience are required to have completed an internship prior to entering the program. The MSF Admissions Committee will decide what constitutes acceptable real world work experience on a case-by-case basis.

Any exception to the specified minimums requires unanimous agreement among all members of the MSF Admissions Committee and approval by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in the College of Business.

Specific requests for exceptions or substitutions must be submitted in writing to The College of Business Graduate Office.
