Financial Literacy

Austin Peay State University’s (APSU) Continuing Education Department is proud to announce a new course for this fall, focusing on managing personal finances. Instructed by retired State of Tennessee Auditor, Susan Paisley, Financial Literacy is intended to help youth and young adults avoid the pitfalls many face when just starting out. The seven-week course will equip students with the knowledge of how credit cards work, how to budget an income, how to apply for a mortgage, how to factor interest rates on loans, and other pertinent information on the ins and outs of personal finances.

The Financial Literacy course will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 5-7:30 pm, on the campus of APSU. Cost to attend the course is $200 for the entire seven-week session. The course is open to the community and students are not required to be enrolled as a University student, however they must be at least 16-years-old to attend.

Continuing Education is proud to offer another on-campus option for those wishing to continue their vocational, professional training or life skills and improve upon real-world skills.

The Austin Peay State University Continuing Education Department offers non-credit courses that do not require a student to be enrolled in the university path. Courses include certification-style courses such as Phlebotomy Technician, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), American Sign Language, and other career and workforce trainings and certifications.
