The CFA® designation is the most prestigious set of credentials in the global investment management industry. Like lawyers taking the bar or accountants taking the CPA exam, financiers who want to rise to the highest levels focus on the CFA exams. As a member of the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute University Affiliation Program, TCU Neeley is recognized for our coverage of the Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) of the CFA Program* through specialized CFA® Exam Track courses of study in the BBA Finance and MBA programs. Well over 100 Neeley graduates have earned their CFA charters and have gone on to highly successful careers in investment management across the globe.
