RIIA Partners with Texas Tech University

Intensive Retirement Management Seminar
To Prepare RMA^SM Candidates

Texas Tech University, based in Lubbock, TX, is now the second university approved by RIIA to teach the Retirement Management Analyst^SM curriculum in preparation for the RMA^SM examination.

Boston University Center for Professional Education currently offers a distance learning program to potential candidates.

The new Texas Tech Retirement Management Certification Seminar is a one-week, intensive program which will include lectures, lab assignments and final exam, and will take place in the new Charles Schwab Technology Complex on the Texas Tech campus. Students who successfully pass the final exam receive a certification from the university and are fully prepared to take the RMA^SM exam to earn the RMA^SM designation.

Spearheaded by the faculty of the Texas Tech Personal Financial Planning Division (PFP), the seminar is taught by experienced instructors and faculty, as well as doctoral students who will assist with the applied lab sessions.

According to Dr. Michael Finke, PFP at Texas Tech believes strongly in the importance of retirement planning education and is interested in providing additional executive education opportunities for non-traditional students. "With our focus on financial planning, it was only natural to reach out to RIIA to find ways to expand the RMA^SM program by offering a different learning environment and approach to potential candidates."

The aim of the new seminar is to provide a thorough, science-based overview of retirement management that advisors, managers and executives from across the financial services, insurance, investment and retirement planning industries can use to more effectively serve consumers looking for professional advice and appropriate product recommendations to meet retirement income goals.

The next seminar is scheduled for November 5 -10, 2012.

The cost is $1,975, including hotel accommodations.
