UGA to offer online master’s program in financial planning
Athens – The University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Sciences will offer an online master’s degree program in financial planning this fall.
The non-thesis degree program will prepare graduates for the Certified Financial Planner examination.
“There’s a great demand out there for a program like this,” said Ann Woodyard, an assistant professor in the college’s financial planning, housing and consumer economics department.
Tenure-track UGA professors and research faculty will lead the program and will offer courses in financial analysis, practice management and financial counseling.
The two-year program will be offered in eight-week blocks, beginning with courses on financial planning and analysis and wealth management.
