Rebecca won the IARFC National Financial Planning competition in 2019 and had this to say about her time at UNT:

"The UNT Financial Planning program was great preparation for life after college. The combination of book learning, a real-world case study, and the opportunity to join national competitions gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to secure my first job and pass the CFP® exam."

"The financial planning program at UNT has been an incredible experience from the opportunities, participation, and real world knowledge they offered. I was able to obtain multiple state licensing from the courses that were given and have full confidence to sit for my CFP® exam. I am blessed to be connected with multiple opportunities and obtain a position as an Associate Wealth Advisor at Messick Peacock & Associates before I graduated in May of 2022."

"The Financial Planning program at UNT challenged me to think about personal finance from many different perspectives while encouraging critical thinking skills to solve real world financial problems. The professors exemplified an incredible ability to use personal experiences they obtained from their time within the industry to help solidify the understanding of difficult concepts found within the financial planning process. Ultimately, the program gave me the confidence and skills needed to pursue my CFP® certification and a satisfying career as a wealth manager."

"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."
