To fulfill requirements for the finance major, students must be admitted to major standing in finance, complete the core program and earn a minimum of 25 credits, as specified below, with a grade of C or better in each major course. A grade of C or better must be achieved in FIN 3220  and in each prerequisite for a finance course before a finance major, or any Oakland University student, may begin work in that finance course.

If an Actuarial Science student wants to switch to a Finance major, they can use FIN 3550  to satisfy the FIN 3220  requirement, but will still need to take FIN 3720 . If a Finance major student wants to switch to an Actuarial Science major, they will need to use both FIN 3220  and FIN 3720  to satisfy the FIN 3550  requirement.
