*NOTE: The Finance options are “impacted” which means that students must have completed at least 60 units and have a transcript GPA of 2.6 or higher to be admitted to the major. Students with less than 60 units are admitted as Pre-Finance.  Once a student has 60 units and satisfies the GPA requirement they should immediately file a change of major form. When declaring the major, the student will also need to declare an Option (Financial Analysis, Financial Planning, or Risk Management and Insurance). Pre-majors do not need to declare an Option.
