Financial Administrator Development Program

About the Program

Since 2012, the Financial Administrator Development Program (FADP) has provided Michigan State University financial administrators with a comprehensive program to sharpen financial skills while gaining a broad perspective of all facets of MSU.  Best practices in using financial information will serve as a focal point for much of the program. In addition, executives (including several Vice Presidents) and other leaders from across MSU will present to provide participants with a broad introduction to the University as a whole.  Upon completion, participants will have technical, organizational and cultural tools, and knowledge of the resources for building and continually improving the skills necessary to succeed. FADP is open to APA/S 10+, Executive Management, and Faculty and Academic staff.

The program’s target audience includes:

  • College/Major Administrative Unit Budget Officers
