​Young Harris College has been approved by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) to provide a new financial planning minor program. 
 
“CFP Board is pleased to approve the program at YHC as a CFP Board Registered Program,” said Douglas S. King, CFP®, chair of CFP Board’s Board of Directors. “As student interest in financial planning as a career continues to grow, we anticipate that YHC’s program will contribute significantly to the number of qualified candidates seeking to attain the CFP® certification, the standard of excellence for competent and ethical financial planning.” 
 
CFP Board is a Washington, D.C.-based independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to benefit the public by granting, upholding, and promoting the Certified Financial PlannerTM (CFP®) certification.

Students completing the financial planning program at YHC will have met the Education requirement for CFP® Certification Examination administered by CFP Board. 
 
CFP Board currently oversees more than 300 programs at more than 200 institutions. CFP Board-Registered Programs are financial planning education programs at the college or university level that meet specific criteria for educating individuals who wish to fulfill the education component for obtaining CFP® certification.

“This new program in financial planning provides our students, regardless of their choice of major, with an exciting career-oriented minor that offers numerous employment opportunities in a fast-growing field,” states Dr. Todd Jones, YHC’s CFP® professional.
