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.

Admission Requirements

For details about admission requirements, please check the Admissions page.

Curriculum

The Undergraduate Certificate in Finance requires completion, with a “C” average or better, of 15 units of finance undergraduate courses (prefix FI) at Golden Gate.

Please note that some courses taken as part of certificate programs will have prerequisites. These prerequisites must be satisfied (through transfer of equivalent coursework or through taking the courses at Golden Gate) before the certificate courses can be completed.
