FPCP is a noncredit program that can be completed in 8 to 15 months. The program is being offered at the Frostburg main campus as well as the Hagerstown Center using Distance Education (interactive video) technology. Required courses are offered on a rotating basis in four eight-week terms, annually. Courses are taught at the junior or senior undergraduate level and the pace of each course is intensive. Completion of Frostburg’s CFP Board-registered FPCP will fulfill the educational requirements and enable students to sit for the CFP ® Examination.
FPCP invites all working professionals in insurance, banking, investments, accounting, law and other finance-based businesses, current students in business, accounting, and economics, as well as individuals interested in switching careers to consider enrolling in the program. Financial planning is a rapidly growing field that serves the needs of individuals in all income groups.
