The School of Management has made it easier for students!
Goodbye MGMT…. Hello ACC, ISM, MKG, FIN, and BUSM!
Effective for registration for Summer 2013 and Fall 2013, the School of Management is changing course subject codes for many Undergraduate courses. Now it will be easier to find the specific course you want. No more hunting through all the MGMT courses to find that Introduction to Business class (now BUSM 10100), Investments class (now FIN 44300), Project Management (now ISM 48700), Financial Accounting (now ACC 20000), or Principles of Marketing class (now MKG 22400)! Student transcripts will also be easier to interpret and will clearly show the courses taken by subject area.
We are bringing out five new course subject codes to join ECON, ENTR, CIS, and OBHR which are not changing. Subject codes for Graduate classes remain unchanged – students should still use the MGMT subject code for graduate course registrations.
New Subject Codes
• ACC = Accounting classes
• FIN = Finance classes
• ISM = Information Systems classes
• MKG = Marketing classes
• BUSM = other SOM courses not in any specific major discipline.
Continuing Subject Codes
• ECON is still for Economics classes
• ENTR is still for Entrepreneurship classes
• OBHR is still for Organizational Behavior & Human Resources classes
• CIS is still for Computer Information Systems classes

Yes, regardless of what code was used originally.

They will reflect the codes used when the course was originally taken. If the course was taken spring 2013 or earlier, it will stay the same. If taken summer 2013 or later, the new codes will be listed.
