As a working professional in the financial industry, I thought I would never have the opportunity or time to go back to school and finish my degree. I wanted to pursue getting the Certified Financial Planner designation and found that the University of Georgia Griffin Campus had a program to help me in both of those pursuits.
UGA Griffin attracted me because of the small class sizes, flexible scheduling, and the relationships I made with the faculty. It offered me the opportunity to obtain a University of Georgia Education that fit my schedule and was close to home. My advisors and professors each worked closely with me and truly customized my program to work around my busy professional schedule. My studies at the University of Georgia Griffin Campus have without doubt made me a better financial planner and advanced my career.
