Financial Literacy

Course Overview

The primary goal of Financial Literacy is to help students develop a knowledgeable and healthy relationship with their personal finances.  Students will complete a variety of readings, assignments, and discussions throughout the week before our live sessions.  During live sessions, students will participate in a variety of activities, such as creating a budget, finding a job, understanding paystubs, completing a tax return, discussing loan terms, opening bank accounts, and finding housing.   At the end of the course, students will create a short financial education video to share with their peers.
