Curricular Updates

Changes to the Number of Credits for the Impact Lab Courses

• Effective Fall 2026, BA 2062 Impact Lab Problem Solving will move to one (1) credit. It will be taught as a half-term course, with sections offered in both A-term and B-term.

• Effective Spring 2027, BA 3062 Impact Lab in Action will move to three (3) credits. It will continue to be offered as a full-semester course, with the meeting time adjusted to 75 minutes, twice per week. 

  • This credit change allows for class time and credit structure more reflective of the course content and student workload. 

These modifications will not change any degree requirements for Carlson students. Both courses remain required in order to complete the Bachelor of Science in Business degree.

• In Fall 2026, the Finance Department will offer two topics courses, both of which will count as elective credit in the finance major and minor:

  1. FINA 4920 sec. 001 Advanced Financial Modeling (prereq FINA 4422)

  2. FINA 4920 sec. 002 Climate Change and Corporate Finance (prereq FINA 4121)
