<p>I was a bit confused as to how the finance and economics majors work at bama</p>
<p>Most majors need 30 hours in said field.</p>
<p>However for finance i only see Ec 308, ec 309, fi 410, fi 412, and fi 414, for economics only ec 308, 309, and fi 301</p>
<p>Does this mean with the 120 hr requirement met, i can complete a major with only those classes and prereqs?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help! I am really looking forward to my next 4 years</p>
<p>The finance major requires completion of a specialization, minor, or second major (choose one or more of these three options) in addition to the above listed major requirements and CBA-specific requirements eg FI 302, FI 389, MGT 300, MKT 300, GBA 490, etc.</p>
<p>Here are your basic requirements for Culverhouse in general: [Culverhouse</a> College of Commerce and Business Administration < The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://courseleaf.ua.edu/commercebusinessadministration/#departmentandprogramrequirementstext]Culverhouse”>http://courseleaf.ua.edu/commercebusinessadministration/#departmentandprogramrequirementstext)</p>
<p>You can find the requirements for the finance and econ majors here: [Department</a> of Economics, Finance and Legal Studies < The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://courseleaf.ua.edu/commercebusinessadministration/econfinancelegal/]Department”>http://courseleaf.ua.edu/commercebusinessadministration/econfinancelegal/)</p>
<p>You will see spelled out what SEA_Tide just said - both the finance and econ majors require a specialization or second major. You’ll also notice that the Economics major requires the courses you listed plus 9 additional credits of Econ electives.</p>
<p>Thanks very much! Im trying to figure out my schedule now so i can have something prepared at orientation</p>
<p>Thetraveller: You can also major in economics through the College of Arts & Sciences. My son did this, as he also majored in political science and minored in math.</p>
<p>Momreads: son is declared a major in Bio and planning to add Econ as second major. Are we reading this correctly that it only requires CS102… Stat 260 … And then 30 hours Econ ?
My confusion is the different requirements through A&S vs CBA.</p>
<p>^Your son would follow the A&S requirements for Economics. Part of the reason Economics remains an option in the College of Arts and Sciences is that it makes it easier to combine economics with a major in the College of Arts and Sciences other than mathematics or foreign languages.</p>
