Abstract

Utilizing the Delphi method, the purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate financial planning topics for the financial literacy of traditionally aged undergraduate college students. The Delphi method is a qualitative approach used to achieve convergence of opinion concerning real-world knowledge. At the end of the Delphi process, 38 specific topics reached consensus among experts that they were important for all college students to know. These 38 topics can also be grouped into nine larger themes: (a) budgeting, (b) credit, (c) insurance, (d) retirement/benefits, (e) investing, (f) debt management, (g) taxes, (h) banking, and (i) others. Reaching consensus on important topics provides colleges and universities with a road map of what topics they need to ensure that their students are learning. It also lays the foundation for the future development of a valid and reliable instrument to measure college student financial literacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
