Berkeley College’s B.B.A., Financial Services program is a registered education program with the CFP Board of Standards, Inc.™ and therefore, qualifies students to sit for the CFP Examination. However, students do not automatically become Certified Financial Planners or Registered Investment Advisors, and such programs are not specifically intended to fulfill all the requirements for certification or registration for such positions. Generally, candidates for such certification or registration may need to complete a combination of specified educational and/or experience requirements, demonstrate good moral character (which may include an absence of criminal convictions), and pass a licensing examination. Applicants for whom such requirements may be matters of concern are strongly advised to contact an Admissions counselor prior to enrolling in a financial services program.
