| Course Info |
Students with Marketing Specialization:
Due to faculty scheduling issues, MKT 7130 is being offered this spring instead of MKT 7120. It is OK to go ahead and take 7130 during the spring 09 semester. MKT 7120 will be offered during fall 09.
If you’re looking for another marketing class for the spring semester, consider MKT 7150 – Global Marketing. 1:30-3:00 T/TH.
Students with Finance Specialization:
BADM 7480 – Section 1. This is a 1.5 credit hour course on financial modeling. This course will be taught by Michael Blue and is highly recommended. It will be offered again next year.
BADM 7270 – Section TBA. Dr. Crary and Sam Tiras, chair of the accounting department, have worked together to develop an advanced accounting course for students who are pursuing a specialization in finance.
FIN 7826 – This course is full. Check via PAWS often as they may increase the enrollment cap. Otherwise, the chair of the finance department says not to worry, you can take this course another semester. If you’re not able to get into the course, it won’t prevent you from taking the other finance courses this spring.
