CFP Board-Registered Programs Celebrate 20th Anniversary

While the number of current CFP® certificants in the U.S. neared the 55,000 milestone at the end of February 2007, another milestone for CFP® certification was being celebrated in Texas. Texas Tech University recently hosted a 20/20 Celebration from that recognized the 20th anniversary of the first 20 financial planning educational programs to be registered with CFP Board.

Soon after CFP Board was established in 1985, it introduced a process through which financial planning educational programs could register their programs with CFP Board. Today there are more than 320 CFP Board-Registered Programs at 203 institutions across the country. The availability of quality education programs that provide training in the knowledge and skills necessary to provide competent financial planning services is one of the primary factors that has contributed to the growth of CFP® certification.

CFP Board appreciates the contributions of all of Program Directors, educators and administrators, and we salute the 17 institutions that registered the first 20 educational programs with CFP Board 20 years ago:

Boston University
Campbell University
City University
College for Financial Planning
Georgia State University
Golden Gate University
Mercyhurst College
Metropolitan State College of Denver
New York University
Oakland University
Purdue University
