The UW-Madison School of Human Ecology has created two workshop-oriented courses to help undergraduate students prepare to handle finances during and after college.Each course can be taken for one semester and students will receive one graduation credit upon completion. Both classes are set up in a peer-facilitated teaching model where peer educators use a hands-on approach to give students a better understanding of finance. The courses include Consumer Science 111 and 321. CS 111 is recommended for freshmen and sophomore students and teaches topics that cover how to manage a budget plan. CS 321 discusses topics such as auto insurance and 401ks and is geared towards upperclassmen. UW-Madison senior Alaina Legler is a retail major in SoHE and section leader for the program. Her involvement started after taking the first CS 111, offered in the fall of 2014. She explained that peer educators are not limited to personal finance majors. Educators can be students who have taken a personal finance course or who simply want to get leadership and teaching experience.
