The College for Financial Planning—a Kaplan Company, which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, has become the latest institution of higher learning to join the ranks of the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program. The CFFP’s Master's of Science in Financial Analysis program has been acknowledged as incorporating at least 70 percent of the CFA Program curriculum and placing emphasis on the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct within the program. The program positions students to obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter, which has become the most respected and recognized investment credential in the world, according to the CFA Institute. And of the more than 15,000 business programs in the world, only about 800 are approved by CFA Institute.

The CFFP’s Master's of Science in Financial Analysis online program is dedicated to the advanced study of financial analysis and to developing financial analysis professionals through higher learning and quality student experiences, focusing on critical thinking, ethics, and lifelong learning. The graduate degree program helps develop students’ skills as highly competent financial analysis professionals.

"We are incredibly excited to join the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program. Our Master of Science in Financial Analysis curriculum is designed to develop students' skills for success as financial analysis professionals, and we are proud that our program is recognized for covering at least 70 percent of the Candidate Body of Knowledge defined for CFA Program examinations,” said Dirk Pantone, president of the College. “Our program not only enables students to earn a master’s degree, but at the same time prepares them to achieve the industry’s most respected financial certifications.”

Students will also have access to Kaplan Schweser review materials, after successfully completing 15 of the 30 credit hours in the online Master of Science in Financial Analysis program. This access as part of the MSFA program will continue even upon graduation from the master’s program, providing them with additional strong support for the CFA exam.

Through participation in this program, CFFP is also eligible to receive a limited number of CFA Program Student Scholarships each year.
