Financial Services
(Financial Planning Associate) (2137)
The Financial Planning Associate program will
enable you to embark upon a profitable and rewarding career in
financial services. One of the fastest growing industries in the
U.S. is financial planning. This field is particularly strong
in Jacksonville where many large financial services companies
are located. Banks, insurance companies, credit unions, brokerage
firms, investment advisors and financial planners are looking
for qualified and motivated degree students. You have two options
upon graduation from our program: seek employment as a paraplanner
or in another financial services capacity, or continue
on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Financial
Planning at the University of North Florida, which accepts
our program credits. For more information, call 904.632.5064.
This A.S. degree articulates to a bachelor of business administration
degree in financial services at the University
of North Florida. See more information
on articulation.
