KC-201I Financial Wellness *

The purpose of this course is to promote a wellness mindset (physical, mental, and spiritual). Through participation in classroom experiential activities and independent learning, students will acquire knowledge and skills that support the practice of wellness in daily life. Students will be guided, through self-assessment and reflection, to identify areas in their life where the practice of wellness will be most beneficial. Finally, students will develop a personal plan for continued practice of wellness in the future. This course helps college students understand and manage their personal finances during college and after graduation. Students will learn basic budgeting, tax, and credit management concepts while acquiring the skills to manage their resources and untangle the seemingly complex world of personal finances. Studies have shown taking care of one’s financial wellness leads to enhanced emotional and mental well-being, self-confidence, life satisfaction, motivation, and positive stress management. This course focuses students on making sound financial decisions that can positively impact their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
