Any University of Wisconsin-Parkside Alum?

[CFPhopeful]

Are you in Wisconsin or otherwise local? If not, what makes you attracted to their program?

I am in the Chicagoland area, I’m attracted to their program because it’s AACSB accredited, and it’s close to where I live (which can give off a non-online degree).

It also depends on your addendum/template and what you need/want, if it is your first degree and only degree you're going for, I suggest to do it.  However, if you're going for a Masters degree from them, you don't need to have a first undergrad from them either, so it can come from TESU or UMPI for a quick bachelors and ladder to UWis-Parkside for the Masters.

It would be my first degree this is my addendum/temp…

I’m really looking for a school where I can “quickly” get a degree to someday get CFP designation. 

I plan on being a financial advisor and don’t want to spend years waiting to get a degree. 

I also want to graduate from a school that is somewhat known. I’m well aware of like WGU, but that degree isn’t seen too reputable in the finance community. I have seen someone say Penn State here, but I’m unsure how long that’ll take.

Might be a good call. Especially if you’re in the Kenosha area.

Hope it would be, but want to get more info and reviews on the program, any issues, how fast I can complete it, etc.
