University College at Fairfield University hosts Chartered Financial Analyst Open House

November 23, 2004

Financial planners, students and members of the public interested in learning about the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential, are invited to attend a free open house on Monday, Dec. 6, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the dining room of the Charles F. Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University.

The CFA designation is one of the most respected and valued credentials in the global finance community. It is the symbol of distinction and excellence in the investment management fields. University College at Fairfield University has partnered with Stalla CFA Review to offer a preparation course for taking the state CFA licensure examination.

"The open house will explain what the credential is and what it can do for you," said Julie Carroza, marketing coordinator for Becker Professional Review, which administers the Stalla CFA Review.

The Stalla System is a flexible, yet structured methodology developed to focus a CFA candidate's time and effort. The program includes Interactive PassMaster software to allow students to track their progress, focus on specific topics, and take practice exams. The course also provides an online Personal Tutor to answer questions.

Refreshments will be served at the open house. For more information, contact Rich Slusz at 877-232-0333.
