Cert in Finance and Financial Management Services

This online undergraduate certificate has 21 credits and is aimed at holders of a bachelor's degree who need the study required before taking the CFP exam. The curriculum is registered with the Certified Financial Planner Board. Topics include investments, retirement planning, tax and estate matters, and the skills needed to help clients feel more secure about money decisions. The certificate suits those starting a career in financial planning or adding a credential to existing experience, without committing to a full degree. Park requires students to finish at least half of the certificate coursework at the university to meet residency rules, and the entire certificate totals 21 credit hours. The coursework is entirely online, which suits career changers who already have a degree in another subject.
