Personal Financial Counseling

Continuing Your Journey in Financial Counseling

Charleston Southern University is not accepting new students and the program will close pending SACSCOC approval.

The Certificate in Personal Financial Counseling provides professional counselors (i.e., CFPs, chaplains, psychological counselors, pastors, and others) the tools they need to guide them regarding personal finance and the counseling of others. Money management problems can be a root cause of many personal, family, and business problems. Properly trained counselors can lead their clients to resolution of these problems. Training in a biblically based approach to financial priorities and planning for counselors will aid them in improving the lives of their clients. The curriculum is developed at the master level and available for a certificate. The program was created with working professionals in mind offering courses online. Courses are offered year-round, in seven-week terms each semester.

Certificates will be issued at the end of each course. A diploma recognizing the achievement of the certificate will be issued upon successfully completing all five courses.
