FIN 201 - Financial Literacy (3 cr.)

Learners will develop a personal financial plan, monthly operating budget, and assess the financial impact of major acquisitions in the housing and auto industries. We will examine the basic concepts associated with consumer credit, the various forms of insurance (consumer, life, health and property), planning (tax, estate, and retirement), and investment management (stocks, bonds and mutual funds). The impact of private and governmental financial decisions on society will further be discussed, examining inequalities that may lead to bias and discrimination from a financial perspective.
