Description
Financial Planning & Wealth Management, BS (CFP - Board Registered)
Students follow an excellent curriculum taught by passionate teachers, and assures each student gets useful exposure to the financial services industry. Given the lack of diversity within the financial planning field, there is a paramount need for Certified Financial Planners and professionals of color as well as women. By offering this rewarding minor program, Delaware State University seeks to change the face of the average financial planner and also, make the financial services industry more accessible to minorities. The program, headed by a woman, is a testament to the forward motion of the industry as well as its promising and inclusive future.
The CFP® certification process, administered by the CFP Board, identifies to the public that those individuals who have been authorized to use the CFP® certification marks in the U.S. have met rigorous professional standards and have agreed to adhere to the principles of integrity, objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism and diligence when dealing with clients.
