Financial Literacy Education for High School Students
Offering high school students college credit for financial literacy education
Personal finance is a crucial skill, but most students learn from the fundamentals of managing their wealth and making financial decisions too late. That's why the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) offers a comprehensive curriculum for students at the time they start making financial decisions. This course is designed for high school students with the option to earn three college credits.
