CFA Requires a Least a Bachelors? least, senior, seemed, college

dreampak

I was at a CFA meet and greet today. One of the women I was talking to seemed adamant that you did not need a college degree to enroll in the program. Am I mistaken in recalling that you need a degree (or at least be in your senior year of college) to participate in the CFA program?

No, you do not need a degree. As said above, you could have 4 years of qualified work experience in its place.

I did, and pretty much all of my self worth comes from my alias's reputation on the internet. After this post, my mom called me and said that since I brought shame to the skyfairy name, she doesn't love me anymore; same with my girlfriend. I've been crying all week.

Also, maybe you guys could help me with something; I am an Indian with an IT background working for a finance related company. I'd like to make the switch to asset management. I am 27 years old, I have great IT experience and a Bachelors degree in IT from the East Bombay Upstairs Technology Institute, and I am a sagitarius. Do you think CFA is for me?

Thanks

The CFAI site states the following:

"Enroll and Register

Before you enroll in the CFA Program and register for your first exam:

Meet the entrance requirements:
Have a bachelor's (or equivalent) degree
- or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration
- or have four years of qualified, professional work experience
- or have a combination of work and college experience that totals at least four years (Note: Summer, part-time, and internship positions do not qualify)"

I suppose this means you can register without a bachelor's degree, but you need to have four years of qualified work experience.
