2022 Wealth Management Mid-Year Outlook - Financial Planning Degree Programs to Create a More Diverse Future

In case you haven’t seen it, the 2022 Wealth Management Mid-Year Outlook is here! We are honored to have had the opportunity to relay Diversitas’ mission and values in an article written by Diversitas lead organizer, Dr. Barry Mulholland, explaining the critical role of financial planning degree programs in the diversification of the financial planning profession and wealth management industry.

By the numbers, diversification in this profession and industry is slow. Despite the moderate progression from 2013 to 2019, we can find hope in the CFP Board-registered financial planning degree programs at universities in the U.S. that establish frameworks for catalyzing diversification in the industry, including those found at Diversitas Partner Universities.

Dr. Mulholland’s article echoes our mission to establish a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive industry through education, mentorship, and human connection via our Partner Universities and their programs, stating that the near future of a more diverse industry is upon us.
