Financial Planning Track Launching Fall 2025!
The Financial Planning track will be an option for finance majors interested in helping people achieve their financial goals. Financial Planning will
also be available to all other business majors and non-business students as either
a certificate or a minor. Students will be well-equipped to meet rising workforce
demands for professional financial advisors while establishing themselves in a relevant,
lucrative, and rewarding career.
Financial Planning
In response to the increasing demand for qualified financial planning advisors, we are excited to introduce a new Financial Planning Track, thanks to a generous gift from Schwab Advisor Services in partnership with the Charles Schwab Foundation.
