CFA in partnership with IBA - saleen.super - 02-22-2010
IBA is in partnership with CFA and CFA has approved their following programs
<b>BBA
MBA
<u>MS (Finance)</u></b>
(http://http//www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprog/university/asia_pacific.html)
But the funny thing is that IBA <b>has no</b> MS Finance program lol.

Strange! Why did CFA include it then? And is this partnership a recent one?
- saleen.super - 02-23-2010
I don't know. I couldn't find any such news information on IBA website either. Don't know whats the real story.

IBA has no specific MS Finance program but MS Economics program is considered as Economics and Finance program, hence the word used MS Finance may be considered interchangeably with Economics.

Thanks for the clarification.
However, its still misleading. The specific name of program should be mentioned.
- Boss - 02-23-2010
Yes, i agree, word used as MS Finance should have been MS Economics.

What exactly is the purpose of this partnership? What do these institutes want to achieve by this partnership?

Dear Aahan,
This is what CFA says about this partnership program.
<u><b>CFA Program Partners</b></u>
CFA Institute partners with globally diverse, high profile institutions who cover a significant portion of the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge⢠and who embrace the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct in their degree programs.
Recognition as a CFA Program Partner provides a signal to potential students, current students, and the marketplace that the university curriculum is closely tied to professional practice and is well suited to preparing students to sit for the CFA exams.
Partnerships are considered on a case-by-case basis. While there are minimum requirements to submit an application to become a partner, meeting these requirements is not sufficient to achieve a partnership. CFA Institute reserves the right, at its sole discretion, not to approve any application for status as a partner.
