The W. A. Franke College of Business offers several business certificates to further your education in a specific area—helping expand your expertise through focused courses in addition to your major or minor.
A business certificate is intended to help individuals better understand investments, taxes, estate planning issues, and develop excellent listening skills. Upon completion of this certificate, you will have the ability to work within an agency or independently if you obtain a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) certification. This program is only available to students who have achieved the Business Professional Program milestone.
