About the Money Basics Course

Money Basics is an interactive, peer-taught course that can be easily adapted to the class participant's level of experience with course topics. The person-directed design encourages participants to set and accomplish financial goals from balancing their checking accounts to saving for higher education or purchasing a home.

Participants who complete Money Basics can expect to:

• Leave the course with increased knowledge about money and finances;
• Have improved financial skills;
• Develop healthy financial goals and habits;
• Have increased confidence in their ability to handle their own finances;
• Have a healthier relationship with money.

A secondary goal of this course is to invite participants to question their financial circumstances so that they may begin to strategize ways to change their current situations.
