How to Help Colleges Teach Financial Literacy

Noted: The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers two 16-week courses for one credit that teach money management. One offering is directed at freshmen and sophomores and the other for juniors and seniors.  These courses are supported by peer counselors from the personal-finance major who conduct small group sessions. The UW alumni association also has long-offered a free one-day workshop for graduating seniors in cooperation with local financial professionals that draws up to 300 attendees.
