Dowling College Now Offers CFP Board-Registered Program in Financial Planning
OAKDALE, NY – Dowling College has registered with Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. (CFP Board) to provide a new financial planning certificate program. An independent certifying organization, CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM and federally registered CFP (with flame logo)®, which it awards to individuals who meet its education, examination, experience and ethics requirements. Students completing the financial planning program at Dowling College will be eligible to sit for the national CFP® Certification Examination administered by the CFP Board.
"CFP Board is pleased to have an educational institution of the caliber of Dowling College now offering it's approved financial planning curriculum," said Barton C. Francis, CFP®, Chair of CFP Board's Board of Governors. "As student interest in financial planning as a career continues to grow, we anticipate that Dowling College's program will contribute significantly to the number of qualified candidates seeking to sit for the CFP® Certification Examination."
"We are pleased to be able to work in collaboration with CFP to offer this new certificate program. Certified financial planners are among the most sought-after professionals and Dowling is proud to be able to provide this educational opportunity," said Dowling College President Robert Gaffney.

In considering a school's application to register a program, CFP Board compares the program with the financial planning-related topics identified in extensive, periodic job-task analysis studies. The job-task analyses survey financial planning professionals to determine areas students should master in order to provide competent, ethical financial planning services.
The topics to be mastered can be categorized into the following broad subject areas: general principles of financial planning, insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning and estate planning.
