Note
The undergraduate Finance curriculum was revised effective Fall 2017. If a student who matriculated before Fall 2017 takes BCOR 3410 instead of FNCE 3400 , he or she will not be able to switch graduation requirements from the pre-revision requirements to the post-revision requirements. If a student who matriculated before Fall 2017 takes FNCE 3400 , he or she will be able to switch to the new requirements. Students graduating after May 2020 will be required to have completed the new requirements (unless, in special circumstances, permission has been granted by the Department Chair and Associate Dean).
Objectives
The Bachelor of Business Administration degree–Finance (FNCE) major provides students with the necessary skills to succeed in their first finance job upon graduation from LMU. Students will develop applied financial modeling skills based in theory, contracts, and the current tools essential to corporate finance, banking, and investments.
