Economics & Personal Finance Coursework
Research has found that states that have required stand-alone courses in personal finance have seen their average credit scores rise in the years after implementation. In 2019, House Bill 924 was signed into law, creating a new, stand-alone high school graduation requirement in economics and personal finance.
Increasing Access to Advanced Coursework
Access and enrollment in advanced coursework is linked to long-term positive outcomes for students, including greater readiness for postsecondary education. Automatic enrollment policies are a powerful lever to ensure that all qualified students have access to the advanced courses they deserve.
