The School of Financial Planning is proud to continue to be a leader in financial planning education as recently ranked by WealthManagement.com based on performance at the FPA Financial Planning Challenge from 2010 – 2023 for undergraduate degree programs. We look forward to continuing to elevate the financial planning profession through competition, support, and collaboration. Each program listed here is making incredible strides to build the next generation of financial planning professionals and specifically speaks towards the value of CFP Board educational programs rooted within Colleges of Health and Human Sciences as creating outstanding training and skill-building environments focused on being both content experts and effective communicators. We thank the Financial Planning Association for creating a robust competition program to facilitate this effort and let our students shine. We additionally thank WealthManagement.com for highlighting the outstanding work both we and our colleagues are doing across the country to enhance the financial planning undergraduate student experience.
