I teach a course on Personal Finance, that aims to builds a sound foundation in personal finance to help students succeed and lead a rich life while at school and beyond.The course covers Planning/Budgeting, Investments, Debt Management, Tax Management, Insurance/Risk Management, Retirement Planning and Estate Planning. Apart from classroom and online work, students are required to work on a project which is a case study on a typical family that has objectives that students help achieve.

I also teach a course on Introduction to Financial Planning which is geared towards students interested in pursing a career in Financial Planning. The course serves as a foundation course for individuals seeking to provide personal financial planning services to the public. It provides an overview of the eight principal knowledge topic categories laid out under the CFP Board education requirement: https://www.cfp.net/for-education-partners/registered-programs/registered-program-content
