The CFA Program and Your University

 

We encourage universities to incorporate the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and curriculum into their programs. Although we ask that you adhere to our trademark guidelines (PDF), we don't require any registration for universities that integrate the CBOK.

 

Interested in incorporating the CBOK into your university's curriculum?
