Program Overview
The Undergraduate Certificate in Finance can be structured to serve as preparation for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam.
Many business professionals recognize the importance of university coursework in finance, but have neither the time nor the need to complete the requirements for a traditional academic degree. For such students, a certificate is the ideal solution.
