Quinlan students who are pursuing other majors but who wish to expand their skills in accounting may pursue a minor in accounting information systems. The requirements are 15 credit hours in the following courses:

  • ACCT 317. Managerial Accounting
  • ACCT 303. Intermediate Accounting I
  • ACCT 308. Accounting Information Systems
  • INFS 346. Database Management Systems
  • INFS 347. Systems Analysis and Design or ISSCM 393. Requirements Analysis and Communication

Of the courses required for the minor, accounting majors may apply only ACCT 317 and ACCT 303 to their major requirements. Information Systems majors may apply only INFS 346 and INFS 347 or ISSCM 393 to their major requirements. A student majoring in both accounting and information systems is not eligible for this minor.

This minor is only available for students in the Quinlan School of Business.

Transfer Course

A maximum of one transfer course taken prior to matriculating at Loyola University Chicago, may be allowed at the discretion of the Quinlan School of Business.

Transfer Credit

The Quinlan School of Business will allow program transfer credit for business courses taken elsewhere prior to matriculation at the lower-division level provided such courses are also offered at the lower-division level at Loyola. These lower-division level courses are stipulated by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the business school accreditation agency, as follows:

  • Principles of Accounting (six credit hours)
  • Principles of Economics: Macro and Micro (six credit hours)
  • Principles of Marketing (three credit hours)
  • Business Statistics (if college algebra is required as a prerequisite) (three credit hours)
  • Law and the Regulatory Environment of Business (three credit hours)

Loyola's upper-division requirements in finance, intermediate economics, human resources management, strategic management, and operations management will not be satisfied by courses taken elsewhere at the lower-division level or without junior or senior standing. Students transferring as juniors or seniors may be allowed to transfer credit after successful completion of an upper-division course taken at another institution if the Quinlan School of Business deems that the subject matter is congruent to a corresponding Loyola course.

Current Loyola Students

The Quinlan School of Business adheres to the university policy regarding taking courses elsewhere. In conjunction with the university policy, the Quinlan School of Business will not approve any courses from the Quinlan School curriculum to be taken elsewhere during any semester or summer session.
