A one-semester course that focuses on how to manage your personal finances. Students will learn areas that enhance financial security and enable them to make wise decisions affecting their financial future. Units will include career and personal decision-making, money management, financial security, investments, credit management, and risk management. Students will gain knowledge of managing their personal finances, preparing them for financial responsibility beyond high school.

Students will have the option to take a University of Northern Iowa proficiency exam to earn 3 college credits for a fee of $100. This will transfer directly to UNI as FIN 1040 (Financial Skills for Smart Living), to other colleges if there is a comparable course, or as general elective credit.

If students are in need of financial assistance to help with the cost of the proficiency exam, please see your assigned counselor for information.
