CFA exams
The MS-FAIM program focuses on the quantitative techniques used in financial analysis, including all three levels of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) curriculum. You'll be able to complete all three levels of the CFA exam in a year and a half. After completing the MS-FAIM in September you can take the CFA Level I exam in December of the same year, the CFA Level II exam in June of the following year, and the CFA Level III in June of the next year. Starting times are variable, however, and you can take the exams at a pace that suits your needs.
Students who plan to take the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exams Level 1, may apply for a scholarship to cover part of the costs as explained on the CFA Institute website:
