Finance for Business Economics Minor
Department website: https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/undergraduate-programs/bba-business-minors/
The Finance Minor for the Business Economics Option Program (BEOP FIN) allows economics majors to take a set of accounting courses and finance courses at the McCombs School of Business for completion of a Minor in Finance. BEOP FIN students take lower-division accounting and upper-division finance courses to explore the application of economic concepts and models to finance and financial markets; to strengthen the quantitative and analytical skills they acquire as economics majors; and to acquire knowledge and skills in business and finance.
To participate in the BEOP FIN Minor, students must apply and be admitted to the Finance Track of the BEOP through the Department of Economics. To be eligible for the Finance Track of the BEOP, a student must:
- be a declared economics major;
- have a cumulative University GPA of at least 3.00;
- have an economics GPA of at least 3.00 (based on economics coursework taken at The University of Texas at Austin); and
- have earned a grade of at least C in ECO 329.
Students must contact the Department of Economics to apply, and for all questions about the Business Economics Option Program.
