Reasons for this curriculum action:
One of four selected upper division courses for the Proposed baccalaureate degree in Applied Business and Information
Technology (ABIT). BUS 300, Principles of Fianace, satisfies the business core requirements at nearly all baccalaureate
institutions. It is currently taught at UH Manoa, UH Hilo, and UHWO and was chosen as one of the first course
offerings because it should be easily transferable to satisfy a business core requirement at these and other schools even if
the ABIT degree does not materialize. MCC currently has staff capable of teaching this course.
