<p>yes, you take only 4 courses. i think for a regular undergrad business major, you take bunch of biz fundamentals like like accounting, marketing, management, organizational behavior, business law, and intro to finance etc on top of whatever the distribution requirements are. here are sample curriculum for Michigan and Berkeley
[Core</a> Courses - Stephen M. Ross School of Business](<a href=“Faculty Academic Areas | Michigan Ross”>Faculty Academic Areas | Michigan Ross)
[Undergraduate</a> Program - Degree Information - Haas School of Business](<a href=“http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/core.html]Undergraduate”>http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/core.html)
notice how they don’t seem to require any advanced finance course. kellogg financial economics cert, on the other hand, is narrowly focused only on finance but at a deeper level. this is probably why the math requirement for other undergrad business programs is only one semester of calculus while it’s much more than that for kellogg cert.</p>
