Does anyone know of a college program that specifically incorporates CFA material into their curriculum with the goal being to prepare students take the level 1 exam? At my school, kids can spend an extra semester earning credits to sit for the CPA. I figure it would be a good idea and a strong selling point for an undergraduate business school to offer such coursework; at the end, you could have your bachelor’s degree in business and enough know-how to at least take the level 1 exam.
Not sure if you’re asking just to ask or if you’re looking for attend such a class, but I went to a relatively small University and they created an elective class to prepare students for taking the Level I exam. Works especially well if you have a CFA Charterholder faculty member, as they can sponsor several students for the exam, so initial registration was free, the exam fee was heavily discounted, and we got Schweser textbooks for $100. Plus class size was only 8-9 students.
Some universities in the UK have master in Finance directed towards a pass in level 1 and level 2 of CFA. I don’t remember the name though…If I do I’ll post it here. Therefore you get two things: a master in Finance from a good school and the first two levels of the CFA. I think it’s quite interesting when you are just ouf of school…on top of that you have to do interships…
