Military personnel can now learn the fundamentals of personal
financial management and gain financial independence while
earning college credit.
Essential
Knowledge and Park University, recently ranked by US News and
World Report as the 2nd largest online degree
provider in the nation, have partnered to offer an online course
created to help members of the military community learn how to
handle money.
The course is a
practical, self-paced college course covering the basics of
money. In less than 60 days, students can learn everything they
need to stop living paycheck to paycheck and take control of
money. It covers the key elements rarely learned at home or
school:
·
The importance of contributing to your military TSP
·
How to create a budget
·
How and why to start an emergency fund
·
How to understand and improve your credit score
·
Getting out of debt and staying out
·
Fundamentals of investing for retirement
·
Insurance and tax basics
·
How the psychology of money affects you
Personal
Financial Management was developed by Essential Knowledge
specifically for service members, their families, and financial
counselors who work in the military community. Upon successful
completion, each student receives three ( 3 ) undergraduate
credit hours toward a Park University degree, or to transfer to
other accredited schools.
The course is
exceptionally flexible because it’s online. Students can enroll
and start any time it fits their schedule throughout the year.
Best of all, Active-duty personnel can apply for the military’s
Tuition Assistance program that will pay for 100% of the tuition
cost up-front, with no out-of-pocket expenses for the service
member.
As a financial
counselor in the military community, this course provides the
kind of basic financial insights that greatly benefit the lives
of service members and families you work with. It also serves
as a great refresher course for anyone in the financial
counseling profession.
