Financial Planning

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Fall 2023 and after)

*Please Note: This major is ONLY available Online/Distance Learning to all FSU students via the Panama City, FL campus. This program is NOT available via Face-to-face/in-person instruction. Contact the College of Applied Studies for specifics.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and diversity requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The Financial Planning program aims to prepare students to become effective and successful financial planners who, upon graduation, will be eligible to sit for the Certified Financial Planning (CFP) exam and be knowledgeable in both the academic and people skills required for financial planning practice. Students will learn from professors who have applied experience as well as academic credentials for Financial Planning.
