BusinessWeek noted the popularity of LeBow College of Business' personal-finance courses on March 7, 2007.
At Drexel, business students enrolled in Individual Financial Strategy have to do in-class presentations about whether they should buy or lease a car or if it's a good time for them to purchase a home, based on historical rates of interest on loans. Instructor Jodi Cataline says she wants her students to learn from the mistakes she made with money when she first graduated, which is why she shares stories about her past. "This information is about personal, day-to-day interactions you will have with money," says Cataline. "It's not just about corporate finance. Even business students have trouble."
