Financial Planning is a career oriented degree rather than a transfer degree (although students that decide to pursue further education retain that potential). The degree is designed to give students the skills, behaviors, and licenses to gain access to the employment market. Career opportunities reach many industries and multiple roles.
Students who complete the program will:
- Function as an economically literate citizen in personal, social and government systems.
- Understand basic business functions of accounting, economics, ethics and communications
- Demonstrate the interpersonal teamwork, sales and leadership skills necessary in business
- Able to select and apply technology tools to make personal and business decisions
- Obtain licensures in the following areas: Life, Health, Property, Casualty, Series 6 and 63 securities
Do I have to sell insurance?
