Abstract: This study examines personal financial literacy among Missouri Southern State University students. Four populations of students were surveyed: thirty senior business majors, thirty senior non-business majors, thirty freshmen business majors, and thirty non-freshmen business majors. The sample was divided by gender, class rank, major, and GPA. Significant statistical differences in mean scores and least-squares regression were tested on the results. The study suggested that either taking a personal finance course or being a business major does increase one’s understanding of personal finance topics.
