The Lakehead program places an emphasis on the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
“We are very pleased to join the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program,” said Dr. Wing Him Yeung, Chair, Undergraduate Curriculum Years 3 & 4 and Associate Professor, Finance in the Faculty of Business Administration at Lakehead University.
“This affiliation will further enable Lakehead’s Faculty of Business Administration to support the future career goals of our students. This puts students on track to obtain the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter, which has become the most respected and recognized investment credential in the world,” Dr. Yeung added.
