The Center for Financial Literacy

Regardless of what your major is or what you plan to pursue after college, you need to understand how to manage your personal finances. The goal of the Center for Financial Literacy is to break down the barriers so you feel comfortable talking about money and can equip yourself for life in the real world.

As part of the Center’s workshops, you’ll learn about budgeting, saving, debt management and planning for retirement. Financial experts will give detailed presentations on everything from how to approach investing decisions to what to consider when you want to buy a house. The Center will be a place to turn to for answers to any financial question, giving you the tools to take control of your own financial education—and future.

You’ll also have the chance to share what you’ve learned with the community as part of the Financial Literacy Club student organization, which is open to students in any major.
