Personal Finance

The Personal Finance course provides a foundation in both microeconomics and

macroeconomics to foster the economic way of thinking which serves as a framework

for the personal finance decision-making opportunities introduced in the course.

Students will survey the impact of demand, supply, various industry structures and

government policies on the market for goods, services, and wages for workers. The

course will engage the student in critical thinking by exploring how to invest themselves

with education and skill development, earn income, and budget for spending, saving,

investing, and asset protection. Students will examine their individual responsibility for

managing their personal finances and understand the impact on standard of living and

long-term financial well-being.
