Our students work at
One degree, three levels
Your degree and your CFA preparation, climbing together.
Instead of juggling college with separate coaching, the CFA Program curriculum is woven into your credit-bearing subjects — from investment tools in the early years to portfolio management by the end. An industry skills track in modelling, valuation and research runs alongside.
You register for and take the CFA exams with CFA Institute independently. The degree prepares you for the qualification — it does not award or replace it.
