Personal Economics and Finance

Credit may be granted in either business or social studies.

In this mid-level economics and personal finance course, students visit a number of locations within a neighborhood setting to learn about different aspects of personal economics and finance. They have the freedom to choose their own path through the course content, which deals with topics such as spending plans and borrowing decisions, career planning, insurance, and investing and other financial services. Students complete activities and projects that apply the knowledge they gain to their own personal situations, allowing them to develop an understanding of economic and financial issues through real-world applications. Completion of this course will assist students to develop critical thinking skills as they demonstrate their understanding of checking and savings accounts, credit cards, basic insurance and economic systems, and to indicate a basic understanding of core financial and economic concepts.
