Description
Over the past decade, pharmacy school tuition and the subsequent amount of student debt has risen significantly. Additionally, the debt-to-income ratio for pharmacy school graduates increases, making it extremely important to manage personal finance during pharmacy school and beyond. To assess a personal finance elective's effect on students' financial literacy and confidence, a course evaluation study was pursued at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED).
Subject
NEOMED's College of Pharmacy graduating Classes of 2018 through 2021 completed a voluntary, anonymous survey to determine the need and interest for a finance elective in the curriculum. Survey results were grouped by enrollment in the personal finance elective course (i.e. students enrolled and students not enrolled). Students self-identified the category describing their knowledge and confidence in financial decision-making using Likert-style scales.
