Course Requirements
The following courses within the Farmer School of Business, denoted by an "H" or a "C," are offered as business honors courses. Within the first year course recommendations, BUS 101/102, is required to be taken during the fall semester of your first year at Miami University and ACC 221 is required to be taken during the spring semester of your first year at Miami University. While not required during the first year, the other first year courses listed below are suggestions and serve to accelerate several core business core courses. Accelerating the core involves taking courses from the list of core business requirements earlier than most non-honors students will take these courses. The courses recommended for acceleration are taken during the fall and spring semesters of the student's first year, prior to being officially admitted to the Farmer School of Business Honors Program. The courses listed for the sophomore, junior and senior years are required courses within the Farmer School of Business Honors Program. You are expected to complete all business honors courses with your business honors cohort. For exceptions to this policy, please refer to the "Curriculum Requirements Exception Policy" listed below.
