KU Business School News

The Business School’s Undergraduate Program is now recognized as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program Partner. As a result, more students will gain access to the top investment credential and the additional career opportunities it makes possible.

The CFA Program Partner distinction certifies that finance students have the necessary training to sit for the first level of the CFA exam, the most rigorous credentialing exam for investment professionals. It also signals to potential students and employers that the School’s finance curriculum is closely tied to professional practice. Only thirty-five institutions world-wide have earned this designation.

As the School is a Program Partner, KU finance students will gain access to CFA Institute materials and other educational resources. Students will also benefit from professional development events held in conjunction with the Kansas City CFA Society.
