Hello all so I'm currently in my last semester at the U of C in the Haskayne School of Business. My concentration is in MIS but realistically I want to be pursuing a CFA. I've only take one FNCE course, which is FNCE 317. Anyway I'd like to get some tips and advice on pursuing a CFA from anyone who's done it or who's looked into it as well like I have.

I've just done some prelim research on it, and I'm wondering at the U of C what FNCE courses I should take that would be beneficial for my FIRST CFA exam. Or how one would recommend going about it.

Also I'm told that if I graduate at the end of this semester and go in as an Open Studies student to take some FNCE courses then I'll lose any sort of leg up on students that I have right now being a Business student. I was told I could either still do this, delay convocating, taking less courses this semester (I only have 4 left to graduate) and delaying finishing my degree and/or switching majors to FNCE so that I won't be able to graduate until I've done all the required FNCE courses.

Anyway any help from CPers knowledge on the CFA courses, program, examinations etc. would be helpful, thanks in advance.
