In this course, students will learn to be wise stewards of the material blessings the Lord provides by gaining a solid understanding of financial principles and learning to apply them to a gospel-centered life. Course material and content will be drawn from the BYU College Manual in Personal Finance by Dr. Bryan Sudweeks and from the counsel of the prophets, apostles and other church leaders. The primary methods of instruction will be through reading materials and online lectures. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, budgeting, goal setting, cash management, credit, loans, debt and much more. In addition to being able to discuss these topics, students will demonstrate their understanding through the 4-R (research, reason, relate, and record) methodology through realistic assignments, short quizzes, and short papers. For many students the most challenging part of class is to create and apply a realistic budget. To support your student, please consider reviewing materials discussed in class. The principles learned in this course can be of value every day of their lives as they understand how to apply sound financial principles.
