CFP and Elective Courses: Building Toward the Capstone

CFP and elective courses lay the foundation for our capstone courses: PFPL 600 for the CFP program, and PFPL 650 for the Client Psychology and Communication Pathway. These courses give you the opportunity to demonstrate your proficiency with financial planning topics, while integrating professional experience and academic research.

Capstones entail a higher level of analysis than knowledge-building classes, so you might find them to be different than what you are used to. Your instructor is assessing both your subject matter mastery and your competence as a researcher.

Best practices for succeeding in capstone courses include:

  • Reviewing prior course material
  • Paying careful attention to APA formatting
  • Thoughtfully considering the questions posed
  • Engaging fellow students and the instructor to explore real-life applications
  • Emphasizing how one area of financial planning impacts another

Good luck, and enjoy the capstone experience!
