Everyone needs a financial plan to achieve their goals

The wealth management program at the Warrington College of Business is designed to prepare students to pursue a career in financial planning. This is achieved along two lines — the Certified Financial Planner designation and opportunities to connect with professional financials planners.

Throughout the courses, students are exposed to topics ranging from estate planning to taxes in preparations for working with clients to achieve their financial goals. Further, the curriculum is design to meet objectives set forth by the CFP Board for taking the CFP exam. Not only will students have the needed background to develop solid financial plans, but also the opportunity to join the ranks of Certified Financial Planners worldwide.

Outside of classroom, the program will offer opportunities for students to connect with industry professionals. Whether through professional speakers, internships, or case competitions, students will have hands-on opportunities to apply what they have learned.
