* As of fall 2017, the finance concentration is no longer accepting new students. Students who are expected to graduate in spring 2019 or later may choose between two new finance concentrations: corporate finance and investments or financial planning. Those graduating in spring 2018 or fall 2018 will graduate from the former finance concentration, unless they can meet the requirements of one of the two new concentrations and opt into that program.
** As of fall 2017, the international business concentration was renamed global management. Students entering Merrimack in fall 2017 or later who wish to pursue this course of study will declare global management, not international business, as their concentration. Students who started at Merrimack prior to fall 2017 may choose either the international business or global management concentration.
