FIN 289Personal Finance and Investing (1 SH)
Introductory to advanced levels, students will learn about personal investing within the broad context of personal finance and stewardship of money resources. Students with little to no background will start with the basics, while more advanced students work independently on instructor-guided projects at their unique level of understanding and interest. This course may be taken up to two times for credit, and more with audit. While this course is open to students of all majors and levels, it is especially encouraged for juniors and seniors as paration for their next phase of life and career. This course is typically taught in-person fall and spring semesters and online/ asynchronous during the summer term.

Students will also research and approve charity distributions from unrealized gains. Prerequisite: FIN 289
