Career and Financial Management emphasizes the business and
economic system including its characteristics, operations, structure, and
evolving role within society. Students
should realize the significance of their part in the economic system. Important management and economic concepts
are defined in relation to business transactions and to the individual as an
entrepreneur, employee, consumer, and citizen.
General principles will be combined with practical applications to
develop personal financial literacy.
Financial Literacy
With many college-age students in debt and filing for
bankruptcy protection, learning how to manage your money is very
important. To help learn this, students
will participate in the Financial Literacy Certification Program. Students will learn money management and
additional concepts and take a nationwide test in Financial Literacy. If students pass the test, they will receive
a certificate and can list this impressive feat on their resume.
