Personal Finance
Critically applying financial literacy competencies prepares students for success in college, career, and civic life. Understanding how to navigate the complex consumer economy of the 21st century is a transferable skill that positions students for an evolving workplace and marketplace.
Personal Finance is not a stand-alone Career Cluster or Career Pathway. Courses in Personal Finance or Financial Literacy can be listed appropriately in Programs of Study in the Business Management & Administration, Finance, or Marketing Career Clusters as part of a program of study.
