Why Take This Class?

Based on our experience, many students have a negative view of Finance at the beginning of the class. So why take this class? A recent study found that most retail investors “have a weak grasp of elementary financial concepts and lack critical knowledge of ways to avoid investment fraud.” Only 14 states currently have a required personal finance class. While we do not believe that this class will make you an informed investor by itself, many of the concepts are applicable to basic investment decisions and can serve as a foundation for your future financial literacy.
