*Electives
Up to two electives may be taken from outside the courses prescribed above. These electives may be taken from other offerings of the Stuart School of Business, the Center for Law and Financial Markets, the Chicago-Kent College of Law, or the Main Campus graduate programs, provided that: (1) they are consistent with the MS Finance program's objectives; and (2) they have been approved, prior to the student's registration, by the Associate Director of the MS Finance program.
In no event will a 'prerequisite course' that is not part of the Finance Program curriculum be counted toward a student's program of study. For example, a 'prerequisite course' may either be a formal prerequisite, such as MBA 510 which is a formal prerequisite for ACCT 501, or an informal prerequisite such as a basic math course which is an informal prerequisite for MSF 511.
