A finance program determines relevance by aligning with professional standards, such as the CFA's body of knowledge (CBOK). Resistance to the integration process occurs when faculty members disagree with the program's targeted cognitive rigor (CR). This study suggests mapping the CBOK's CR facilitates integration by allotting CFA learning outcomes…
