Per the grant proposal the institute was developed to be delivered as a graduate-level course, all participants are eligible to receive 3 credit hours of graduate credit at MTSU HSC 6100: Teaching Personal Finance upon successfully completing all requirements as outlined in the course syllabus. In addition, participants are expected to teach the course, complete with the three additional College Access modules, during either the Fall 2012 or Spring 2013 semesters.
