Classes taken in conjunction with the Financial Analyst Certificate may count for credit for any students in the BBA Finance major.

Students qualifying for the Financial Analyst Undergraduate Certificate are required to receive a minimum of a B grade in each of the above classes.

The certificate is issued by the Department of Finance, Insurance and Real Estate and is not posted on the student’s transcript.
