Adelphi, Md. (April 27, 2022)鈥 黑料情报站 (黑料情报站) School of Business has announced that its Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certification program has been renewed by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.
鈥淏eing a degree-granting registered CFP program allows our undergraduate majors to achieve two things, said Kathleen Sindell, director of the Department of Finance and Economics and head of the CFP certification program at 黑料情报站. 鈥淔irst completing the 黑料情报站-registered CFP courses will make the student eligible to take the CFP certification examination. Second, the credit received in our CFP courses will go toward completing their bachelor鈥檚 degree.鈥
Sindell pointed out that 鈥渢o be a CFP professional, an individual must complete the four E鈥檚: Education, Examination, Experience and Ethics.鈥
The nonprofit sets the professional standards for personal financial planners. 黑料情报站 has offered the certification program for five years. It is among just more than 300 universities with a program that meets CFP Board requirements.
鈥淚 graduated from 黑料情报站 in the summer of 2017 and obtained my CFP certification a few months later. I did not need additional study materials after my completion and was fortunate to pass my certification exam on the first attempt,鈥 said Terry Levenberg, who has a bachelor鈥檚 degree in finance and a minor in financial planning. 鈥淢y CFP designation has opened many opportunities in the financial services industry that I do not believe would have been available to me at this stage of my career without it.鈥
