Course Description
Financial Planning, an Academy of Finance required course, helps students learn about the importance of financial planning. It explores how proper financial planning helps people reach their life goals, how to set personal financial goals and a budget, and explains time-and-money relationships. The course includes lessons on saving, borrowing, credit, and all types of insurance. It covers various types of investments, including income and growth investments. The course also discusses retirement and estate planning.
Students apply their knowledge by creating a basic financial plan as they imagine themselves to be at the age of 25. Students use their knowledge to complete sections of a financial planning template, setting financial goals, determining insurance needs, creating investment strategies, and planning for retirement. Students are given a framework to help create a pathway to financial independence.
Students are encouraged to join FBLA, a student organization whose goal is for students to develop a “career success kit” to carry into their business and personal lives. |
