FCSC 350 - Financial Skills For Life

Financial planning is the lifelong process by which individuals and households determine, pursue, and achieve financial goals. The principal mechanisms of personal financial planning include: responsible use of credit, investing and asset allocation, risk management, tax planning, retirement planning, and real estate planning. The course serves both an all-in-one primer in financial literacy and as a foundation for further course work for students who wish to become financial planning professionals. This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.
