Abstract:

College student retention theorists have suggested that improving students’ financial literacy may improve student retention and completion rates. Before this important line of inquiry can be thoroughly examined, it is first important to understand if and how major state universities in the United States currently provide students with financial literacy education. This qualitative study investigates the existence, content, delivery modalities, and participation timing of financial literacy programs at major state institutions throughout the United States.
