A Review of Howard University's Financial Literacy Curriculum
Lindsey-Taliefero, Debby; Kelly, Lynne; Brent, William; Price, Russell
American Journal of Business Education, v4 n10 p73-84 2011
This article evaluates a financial literacy curriculum at the Howard University (HU) School of Business, by measuring the financial knowledge acquired after participating in a variety of programs. To evaluate the HU curriculum, the National Jump$tart Coalition (NJC) survey was administered to collect data on financial knowledge and demographic characteristics. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to study the data. The results show that HU-Business students performance was comparable to Jump$tart's national average for college students and Business/Economics students. HU Business students scored higher than the Jump$tart's African American student sample. The regression analysis helped identity key factors that influence financial awareness for HU students including having checking account, electronic tax preparation, taking a course in personal finance or money management, GPA, and frequently balancing check book.
