Forty-three percent of U.S. colleges and universities have financial literacy programs, and about half of the institutions that don’t plan to start one within a year, according to a survey from Student Lending Analytics, a group that advises on college-loan options.
Four-year public institutions are leading the way, with 48 percent offering financial literacy programs, and 22 percent of colleges that offer such programs require students to learn the material.
Group workshops are the most popular method of delivering financial literacy lessons, followed by reference Web sites, handouts and online tutorials.
