Masters Certificate in Financial Planning

Program Overview

The Masters Certificate in Financial Planning is a live, instructor-led, Internet delivered financial planning education program, designed to meet the education requirement for the CFP® Certification Examination in only nine months. This accelerated program is taught by experienced and foremost financial planning educators in the country. The University of Miami offers this program in partnership with Dalton Education, the leading provider of financial planning education and materials. Because of Dalton’s extensive experience in providing financial planning education, students participate in an efficient and effective learning environment.

Unlike most distance learning options, the Masters Certificate is not an Internet self-study program. Rather, classes are conducted live, over the Internet. From anywhere in the country, students with Internet access can attend “virtual classrooms” to interact and communicate with instructors and other students using a headset and voice-over-IP technology. All the live classes are also recorded and available for playback.
