The Opus College of Business is offering three classes on campus during J-term: MKTG 490, which serves as a MKTG elective, BLAW 352, a Business Law elective, and FINC 300, which is ONLY for business minors or other majors outside business. If you are a business major who needs FINC 321, DO NOT TAKE FINC 300.
