Looking to get a degree to get my CFP

[Duneranger]

Ha, I actually just saw the original thread a day ago when it was linked in a different thread by the OP, that's why I noticed the resemblance right away. To the OP, I wasn't trying to be mean or call you out on the similar threads, just figured it might be better to specify if there was something in particular that you didn't get from the original thread, so people responding to the new thread could narrow it down.

Exactly LOL. I remember just giving OP suggestions about SNHU, ASU for CFP and forget about UW-Parkside on another thread. CFP exam eligibility can only be satisfied by CFP board-registered schools not just ANY business degree. There are very specific courses that OP needs to take and the last thing he wants is to shell out an additional $10-15K and 12-18 months as CFB deemed his "easy, fast and somewhat-known" business degree as not good enough

How fast can one accelerate the ASU/SNHU program?

You can't accelerate at these programs but still can be done pretty quickly (relatively)....why the rush? You arent even mid 20s. My buddy took his time as a CFP, went to a top 20 MBA, gained clients, and now clears 250k in his early 30s. You arent going to replicate that by rushing.

Just chill and do it the right way by attending a CFP approved program.

Yea I get your point, the only reason I’m “rushing,” is cause I’m trying to get married soon

Why does marriage cause you to rush anything?  I saw rushed marriages and career choices all the time in the military. Many failed spectacularly.

How fast can one accelerate the ASU/SNHU program?

Once you transfer in 90 credits, an SNHU degree can be done in 8 or 10 months, depending on if you take 2 or 3 courses per term after the first couple of terms, in which you can only take 2 classes.

You can also transfer in credits after you start SNHU so if you get close, it may be a good idea to start rather than missing a term start date if you get close to max transfer.

There is a specific degree plan for the Finance degree here

ASU will probably take you over 2 years to complete and cost 20k+ as transferring in alt credits will be difficult and you will have to take more courses at ASU. You will have to degree plan on your own.

I'd say ASU is a big step up from SNHU, but yeah, it's an option. I felt ASU classes had much more substance and the name carries more weight.

But OP wants his cake and to eat it too.
