Applied Mathematics-Financial Literacy is a two-semester course designed to meet that requirement and help students understand the impact of individual choices on occupational goals and future earnings potential. A more real-world, project-based, practical math course. Students will experience real-world scenarios and apply the strategies covered in the course to make sound financial decisions.

They will design personal and household budgets; simulate the use of checking and savings accounts; demonstrate knowledge of finance, debt, and credit management; evaluate and understand insurance and taxes; understand the process of purchasing a car and home; analyze the cost of college; and discuss other related topics.  This course will provide a foundational understanding of how to make informed personal financial decisions.
