Financial Planning & Modeling, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Personal financial planning refers to the systematic and dynamic process whereby individuals optimize their financial resources (taking into account various financial risks and future life events) to best achieve their financial goals and objectives. 老司机福利网's post-baccalaureate certificate in financial planning and modeling prepares SLU students for careers in financial planning and advising services.

Financial planning skills are important for everyone, even for those not seeking a career as a professional financial advisor. It is well documented that the sooner one gets a grip on personal finance, the better the long-term financial prospects will be for things like investing or planning for retirement.
