"The Financial Planning program at UNT gave me so many opportunities to connect with professionals in the industry I would soon be entering. The program allowed me to travel across the country to volunteer for a NAPFA conference, moderate a Schwab sponsored event, and I received an internship that turned into a full-time job as a Financial Planning associate after graduation. I now have the confidence and resources to begin the process of sitting for my CFP exam. I could not be more grateful for the program and the opportunities it set forth."
