The College for Financial Planning is offering two new online certificate programs for career-entry professionals seeking financial services expertise.
The programs are built to develop career-ready skills and culminate in a certificate from the college, which is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
Completed coursework could be transferred "toward an undergraduate degree, depending on the policies of their college or university," the college said in a statement.
The two programs, offered by Kaplan, are:
- The Undergraduate Certificate in Financial Services, which provides an introduction to the skills and concepts associated with careers in financial services.
- The Undergraduate Certificate in Finance and the Social Sciences program, which provides students with insight into how finance is influenced by and influences social structures, groups and individuals. Students can choose from three of four courses, including the psychology of money.
"At a time when skills-based hiring is becoming the industry standard, these undergraduate certificates serve as a catalyst for individuals entering the financial services sector," Dirk Pantone, president of the college, said in a statement.
"Whether for adult learners, career changers, or college students, the programs offer a flexible entry point into the field and are designed to meet the growing demand for short-term credentials that lead directly to career opportunities," Pantone added. "By expanding access to industry-relevant qualifications, these programs help more learners build the skills needed to launch and advance their careers."
