As of January 1st, 2008, an undergraduate degree is required to become a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). Most companies, such as Merril Lynch, Ameriprise, etc. require either an undergraduate degree, or the equivalant in insurance industry experience. I suggest you contact the American College, Bryn Mawr, PA. and inquire about their CLU, ChFC programs. They may be reached @ (610) 526-1000
