I would suggest 2 options: The College for Financial Planning (
http://www.fp.edu ) and the American College ( http://www.amercoll.edu
).

The CfFP includes the CFP curriculum on their Master of Science on
Personal Financial Planning, so, if you enroll in the Master's program,
after getting the CFP, you take other 7 courses and get a Master's
Degree. You do not have to enroll on the Master's to get the CFP
courses.

With the AC, after you finish the CFP courses, you take 3 more, and you
can get the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designation, and 3
extra courses would get you the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU)
designation.
