Financial Planning Study Area

For those of you with an interest in going into the financial planning study area, it takes some careful planning. Unlike our other study areas, the sequencing of classes for the financial planning study area is very important. This is because the financial planning study area is the only one with a capstone course (FIN409). The normal offerings of the required courses for this study area and their prerequisites are as follows:
  • Course - Title - Semester Offered - Prerequisite
  • FIN305 - Investments - Spring and Fall - FIN311
  • ACCT404 - Taxation - Fall, Spring and Summer - ACCT311
  • FIN405 - Port. Mgmt - Fall and Spring - FIN305
  • FIN304 - Insurance - Fall - FIN311
  • ACCT408 - Estate Tax - Fall - ACCT404
  • FIN409 - Capstone - Spring - All of the above, FIN405 may be coreq

Note that FIN304 and ACCT408 are only offered in the Fall (Except for ACCT 408 in the Spring), and FIN 409 is only offered in the Spring and it is a capstone course. It is best to have FIN405 out of the way before FIN409, but we will allow it to be taken during the same semester as FIN409 if needed. I hope this will help clarify your scheduling questions as you consider entering the exciting field of financial planning and becoming a Certified Financial Planner (CFP).
