How well does the MSF program prepare students for the CFA exam?
The CFA exam takes place in three levels. The MSF program covers material through level three in many areas of finance. There is a facilitated CFA preparation course for MSF students. Some MSF Combined Degree students prepare on their own for the CFA level one, studying level one material such as ethics, accounting and economics, and take the exam during their undergraduate semesters. Much of CFA level 2 is covered in MSF courses. Students finished with level one take CFA level 2 in June after MSF graduation. Necessary CFP preparation depends on learning specific financial products, tax laws, which are not covered in the MSF program curriculum.
