Dear College of Management Community,
The College of Management is pleased to announce that the MS, Finance degree program (MSF) of the Accounting and Finance department has been accepted for participation in the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program. The CFA UAP requires that 70% or more of the designated program curriculum parallels the study materials of the CFA Institute Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK).
A special word of thanks for this affiliation goes to (1) KoEun Park, Assistant Professor of Accounting and Finance, who will serve as the Principal Contact Person with the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program, (2) Lucia-Silva Gao, Associate Professor of Accounting and Finance, for shepherding the College’s application through its various stages of development with the CFA UAP, and (3) members of the Accounting and Finance department curriculum committee for their detailed mapping of the MS, Finance curriculum with that of the CFA CBOK.
Thanks again, and congratulations!
Jim
