Opis

Financial literacy is an essential component in determining how successful one might be in their wealth management, retirement, and other financial goals. Unfortunately, many colleges and universities do not list financial literacy as a priority of its students education. Some students are fortunate enough to be introduced to a personal finance course or cultivate their financial literacy through their selected major or discipline, whereas a vast majority learn from their peers, or from their childhood environment. This masters level thesis takes a curious look at gender, and perceived gender roles and how those roles might affect the financial knowledge that accompany an individual as they enter a college or university.
