Intro Finance Course at 150+ US and Canadian Schools: Codes, Titles and Where Students Take Them

How to read this table

Each row is a school, and the courses beside it are the finance courses students most often take first: usually an introductory finance or financial management course, and where one exists a corporate finance course that follows it. Some schools have no business school, so the course sits in economics. A listed course is not always required for every major, so confirm in your own degree requirements.

Codes and titles are copied from official catalogs, and catalogs change each year. If a code looks out of date, check the current catalog or tell us and we will correct it.
