*A one‐hour lecture class is a requirement for the minor.
- AGEC 223 and AGEC 423 are the same lecture class and differentiated only by student’s current class status. Freshmen and sophomores enroll in AGEC 223; juniors and seniors enroll in AGEC 423.
- AGEC 423 may be taken concurrently with AGEC 424, although it is not recommended as students who enroll in courses have exposure to more and different mentors and successful entrepreneurs who speak as profs‐for‐the‐day.
** ACCT 209 is for non‐business majors; additional courses that satisfy the business prerequisite requirements for AGEC 424‐AGEC 425 are ACCT 230, AGEC 330, FINC 341 and FINC 409.
***Upon approval of instructor, non‐AGEC majors may enroll in AGEC 434 without taking all of the specified prerequisites if student simultaneously enrolls during the spring semester in AGEC 425. However, students are encouraged to take these prerequisites, if their academic plans allow, to provide a solid foundation and to better equip themselves for success.
