2015–16 Finance–Financial Institution Management
Academic Map
Department of Economics and Finance
Middle Tennessee State University • Murfreesboro
An academic map is a suggested four-year schedule of courses based on degree requirements in the undergraduate
catalog. This sample schedule serves as a general guideline to help build a full schedule each term. Milestones, courses,
and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major are designated to keep you on track to
graduate in four years. Missing milestones could delay your program.
This map is not a substitute for academic advisement—contact your advisor if you have any questions about
scheduling or about your degree requirements. Also see the current undergraduate catalog (catalog.mtsu.edu) for a
complete list of requirements and electives. Note: Requirements are continually under revision, and there is no guarantee
they will not be changed or revoked; contact the department and/or program area for current information.
You may choose to attend a summer term to reduce your load during fall or spring terms but still stay on track to
graduate in four years (see back). NOTE: Learning Support courses will alter the sequences on this map.
