Practitioner's Guide to Student Financial Literacy

This study was conducted as a comprehensive literature review Problem of Practice supplemented by targeted qualitative semi-structured interviews of Institution of Higher Education (IHE) administrators and professionals whose experience includes undergraduate student financial literacy information dissemination, curriculum, programming, and assessment. The administrators and professionals validated the literature review findings and framed the development of the Practioner's Guide to Student Financial Literacy. The study discusses the symbiotic relationship between Financial Literacy Subjects, Financial Literacy Information Dissemination, and the role of key IHE departments in developing an exemplary program to educate undergraduate students towards financial literacy. The guide identifies and addresses key financial issues IHE undergraduate students need to learn to become financially literate and the core characteristics of a learning outcomes-based financial literacy curriculum.
