Personal Financial Literacy Among UT Undergraduates

Cohort: 2020
Fellow: Heidi Toprac

Everyone needs to understand personal finance. Sadly, a large body of research indicates that most American adults fail basic tests of personal financial literacy. This project aims to determine whether there is sufficient personal financial literacy education on campus, and, if not, how that problem can be corrected.
