Credits: 3

Prerequisite: Prerequisite: FIN 221; one of BIOL 201, BUS 202, CBSC 250, ECON 202, INTR 202, MATH 118, or SOAN 118; and at least junior standing. This course offers exposure to a variety of topics in financial modeling in Excel. Students will build financial spreadsheets to analyze a variety of different financial situations including valuation (stocks, real estate), statistical analysis (historical asset returns), and financial presentation via dashboards. Because Excel for Macs is different in significant ways than Excel for Windows-based computers, students will be required to complete coursework using Windows-based computers. No exceptions to this requirement will be granted.
