| ECON488W - Wealth Management Fundamentals Posted: 10 May 2018 07:03 AM PDT In Fall 2018, the Department of Economics will once again offer ECON488W: Applied Research Practicum - Wealth Management Fundamentals. This course will meet on campus in the Fall semester Wednesdays from 5:00-7:00 pm. This program is an excellent opportunity for economics majors to understand the importance of financial planning and develop the skills need to implement a successful financial plan. These skills are useful for your own financial planning or if you are interested in a career as a financial planner. A sample syllabus for this course is available here. Student Perspectives: "ECON488W not only taught me important information about Wealth Management and how to approach retirement, but I was also able to gain skills in research and presentation. I became much more comfortable presenting on topics that I had done research on and learned how to best present information so that it is easy for the audience to understand." "ECON 488W is a great class that will allow you to seriously develop your technical skills. I created a Monte Carlo simulation to predict portfolio performance as part of a group project to model needed retirement savings." Entry into the program is competitive; only a maximum of 20 students will be selected to participate in Fall 2018. Students must meet the minimum qualifications and apply to be selected for this research course. Minimum qualifications include:
