**Lindner MBA students who are required to take FIN 7014 as part of the MBA core may not count this towards the certificate. They will be required to take an extra elective. Undergraduate finance majors will be able to waive FIN 7014; they will also be expected to take an extra elective instead.
The electives listed above represent the typical set from which most students will choose. Students may also be able to select other electives, with the approval of the Program Director.
