Fulfilling the Financial Planning Education Requirement
We currently have three CFP Board Registered pathways at Texas A&M University in College Station for students to meet the educational requirements for the CFP® Exam:
- Bachelor of Science in Financial Planning for students currently enrolled at Texas A&M.
- Professional Program in Accounting / Wealth Management track for students admitted into and currently enrolled in the Professional Program in Accounting at Mays Business School.
- Extended Learning Certificate Program for continuing education credit through the Financial Planning Program.
Financial Planning Minor
The minor is no longer a CFP Board Registered Program. This means if you enroll in the financial planning minor, you will not meet the educational requirements for the CFP® Exam. If you are interested in qualifying for the CFP® Exam, we invite you to explore one of the options listed above.
Alternatives to the Financial Planning Minor:

Extended Learning Certificate Program
Disclaimers
Courses taken for Extended Learning Credit do not count towards a degree at Texas A&M University and are not transferable to an academic program. These courses are considered continuing education and fulfill the CFP Board’s financial planning education verification requirement to qualify for the CFP® exam. Texas A&M does not award the CFP® marks.
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Center for Financial Planning, Inc. owns and licenses the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®, and CFP® (with plaque design) in the United States to Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc., which authorizes individuals who successfully complete the organization’s initial and ongoing certification requirements to use the certification marks.
