NOTES
 The MSF to MBA dual degree has several units of overlap. Courses marked with SC indicate courses that are shared credit
between the two degrees.
 * 12 units required due to 4 units of shared credit and the automatic FIN 4200 waiver.
 ~ Courses that may qualify to be waived dependent on MSF prerequisite courses. ACCT 4100 may only be waived by a U.S. based
accounting course.
 † Suggested first-year MBA courses.
 Courses in bold may be waived with approved prior coursework. | * Mark with (W) if waived course/Mark with (T) if transferred credit.
 Students approved for a waiver from FIN 4200, MKT 4400 or MIS 4500 are credited with .5 unit per waiver, but must enroll in another .5 unit
course for a total of 1 unit in that subject area. Those without an approved waiver in those courses must enroll in the respective 1 unit course.
 The Finance concentration for the MSF to MBA dual degree program requires 4 units of concentration electives.
 Students must complete a minimum of 9 units of coursework specifically for the MBA degree. If a student has fewer than 9 units remaining after
waiver and shared credit from the MSF degree are granted, they must take more free choice electives in order to meet the minimum requirement.
