Business Core Curriculum

Required courses instill in all FSB undergraduate students the fundamentals of the field alongside a broader liberal education that is the hallmark of Miami.

Typically, coursework at the 100- and 200-level will be scheduled during the first and second years, 300-level courses will be taken in the second and third years and 400-level courses will be taken in the senior year. You will work with your advisors to schedule coursework appropriate to your preparation and academic goals. Students should complete 200-level coursework no later than the fifth semester. Business core courses should be completed before the FSB Capstone.
