Bengaluru: 30th April 2025 : MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU) has launched its new B.Com Financial Analysis program, with the CFA Institute delegation in attendance. The ceremony highlighted collaborative plans to integrate advanced financial curriculum into the university’s academic programs, aiming to equip students with the skills required for successful careers in the global finance sector.
Sharing about the event, Dr. Anjali Sane, Dean of the School of Economics and Commerce at MIT-WPU, said, ” With the successful launch of the B.Com Financial Analysis program, we had the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions on emerging trends in the investment industry. Our focus has been on building a curriculum that meets global industry standards and empowers students with the skills needed to thrive in the world of finance. We’re confident this program will prepare them to be industry-ready from the very start of their professional journey.”
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Paul Moody, Managing Director, Global Partnerships & Client Solutions, CFA Institute, said, “We are thrilled to celebrate the launch of MIT World Peace University’s B.Com Financial Analysis program, which now integrates our Investment Foundations Certificate. This collaboration will provide students with a solid foundation in investment and financial knowledge, preparing them for successful global careers in finance.”
Dr. R. M. Chitnis, Vice Chancellor, MIT-WPU, said, “CA, CS, and CMA are professional courses in India, focused on auditing, taxation, and legal compliance, authorized under Acts of Parliament. In contrast, the CFA is a global qualification that supports companies in finance and investment banking, representing a distinct domain. Students who pursue these professional degrees alongside the CFA qualification will gain a significant competitive advantage in the fast-evolving world of finance.”
Under the newly launched B.Com Financial Analysis program, MIT-WPU will offer on-campus training for the CFA Level I and II examinations, integrating them directly into the curriculum. In the first year, students will also have the opportunity to pursue the Investment Foundations Certificate from CFA Institute. This certificate will provide them with a thorough understanding of the investment industry, including its structure, core concepts, and ethical considerations. It will also equip students with the foundational knowledge covered in CFA Level I, offering valuable insights into financial markets, professional roles, and client needs—empowering them to advance in their finance careers.
The inclusion of the Investment Foundations Certificate in the program is set to open new avenues for academic enrichment, professional certification support, and global exposure for students, further reinforcing MIT-WPU’s commitment to delivering future-ready education.
