NOTES BCOR 2200 must be taken after BCOR 2000, but the other 2000-level BCORs can be taken in any order. We recommend that you complete BCOR 2200 by the end of your sophomore year so that you can begin FNCE 3010 and 3020 in your junior year. If you have to finish up your BCORS in the fall of your junior year, you can still be on track as long as you complete FNCE 3010 and 3020 in spring of your junior year. We recommend that you take no more than 2 4000-level FNCE courses at any one time as these are challenging courses. You can begin these as soon as you have completed 3010 and 3020. BCOR 3010 and BCOR 3000 are recommended for junior year. FNCE 4850 is a senior year course generally taken in your last semester before graduation. You will also complete 15-18 hours of Business electives, which can be spread throughout the junior and senior years.
