Dakota Wesleyan University Set to Launch Trust Management Programs

Dakota Wesleyan University (DWU)  in Mitchell, S.D., has heard from various financial institutions, including experts in the trust management sector, about the crucial void in trained professionals in the trust management field. DWU consulted with industry leaders regarding this need and will now offer the first-ever trust management certification in the United States. 

“The decision for DWU to begin offering this program came after several major banking and financial institutions identified the need for further education and tailored training in the trust management job market,” said Dr. Amy Novak, DWU president.

DWU has created a unique and comprehensive curriculum for professionals wanting to sharpen their knowledge of trusts and estates, wealth management, tax law and client relationship management. Two programs were designed--a graduate certificate in trust management and a business administration degree with a concentration in trust management for the traditional undergraduate student.

A competitive analysis of the region and the country confirmed that only two other traditional universities are currently offering coursework specific to trust management. DWU is the first to offer a graduate certificate for working professionals, with the first cohort to begin in January 2019. The traditional undergraduate concentration is offered this fall to students on the Mitchell campus. For more information, visit www.dwu.edu/trustcertificate.
