New Developments In CFP® Certification Programs
In 2012, all financial planning programs certified by theCFP® Board introduced a new Capstone Course in Financial Plan Development. At Oglethorpe University, the addition of the Capstone Course further enhanced our ability to prepare students for both the CFP® exam and for a career as a Certified Financial Planner™.
At Oglethorpe University, we conrtinue to expand our career services for Financial Planning students. Through networking events, career counseling, recruitment fairs and industry panels, students can explore their career interests. The major areas include, but are not limited to investments, banking, and insurance; working independently or as a member of a large weath management firm. Importantly, the CFP® designation provides a broad range of choices.
Tuition
The 2012 Tuition for the program is $4,895.00, which excludes a $100.00
non-refundable registration fee, course textbooks and supplies. Each student receives a binder of materials for each of the seven courses as part of the tuition.
.
The Oglethorpe University Financial Planner Program consists of seven courses:
Classes meet in the evening once a week from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Classes are scheduled Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, depending on the cohort. Final exams are administered on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until noon.
Certificate
After successful completion of the seven courses, students receive a program certificate and a letter of completion stating they have completed the
Financial Planner Program at Oglethorpe University. The letter of completion serves as the qualifying documentation
for the CFP® Certification Examination.
