Accounting 1/2, into to finance, macro,micro

Thanks!

I strongly recommend macro, micro, accounting 1 and 2 BEFORE finance. There are quite a few schools where these and business law would be required prerequisites for the finance course. Econ can be taken with, before or after accounting. Bear in mind that micro, macro, and accounting 1 and 2 are typically lower-level courses while finance is usually an upper-level course.

It is possible to take micro before macro, depending on the school, but I don't know of any school that recommends that sequence.

The first accounting course covers a LOT of non-accounting stuff that you need for finance. The question "What is a corporation?" and "How do bonds work? are answered in the first accounting course.

Financial ratios, time value of money, and capital budgeting are typically taught in the first-year accounting courses and expanded upon in the finance class.

The specific courses you are looking at may not require this background but it would be out of the ordinary.
