Thinking about taking your financial career to the next level? Here’s why earning your master’s degree with us is a smart move:

Skills & Recognition
 A master’s degree from the College for Financial Planning instantly signals high-level expertise. Whether you pursue the Master of Science in Financial Analysis (MSFA) or Personal Financial Planning (MS-PFP), your degree will be recognized and respected by both clients and employers.

Deep Knowledge for CFA, CAIA & CFP® Exams

  • The MSFA program is designed to give you the in-depth financial analysis skills needed to succeed on the CFA® exam and is proudly part of the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program.
  • Plus, it includes key content from the CAIA® Charter curriculum to support your CAIA exam prep.
  • The MS-PFP program is CFP Board Registered, meaning it meets the education requirements to sit for the national CFP® exam.

Stackable Credits to Accelerate Your Degree

  • If you already hold financial designations, licenses, or have completed certain College courses, you might qualify for prior learning credits toward the MSFA program.
  • CFP® professionals who completed their education through the College could earn up to 15 transfer credits toward the MS-PFP degree—potentially halfway to your master’s!
  • If you earned your CFP® certification elsewhere, you may still be eligible for up to 9 transfer credits.
