8-Week Course Guide

What would you include in a Personal Finance course if you only had 8 weeks to teach it? This course is the answer! Students will kick off the course by building a strong foundation in saving and checking accounts. As they move on, students will learn how to file a 1040EZ before discovering ways they can pay for college and learning effective budgeting strategies. They'll take a deep dive into credit scores, credit cards, and how to protect themselves from identity theft. Finally, they will conclude the course by learning about investing!
