About Personal Finance @ Duke

Personal Finance @ Duke is a financial literacy program that aims to empower students and alumni to make informed financial decisions. The program began in 2011 as a website dedicated to teaching students about personal finance so that they can make better money decisions and master finances early. Today, Personal Finance @ Duke is a nationally ranked financial literacy program that offers both online resources and in-person events and workshops on campus.

Personal Finance @ Duke offers step-by-step online guides outlining the basics of budgeting, savings, credit, taxes, privacy and security, and banking. Each section breaks down the topic, answers important questions students may have, and directs them to additional resources that may aid in their financial success, such as financial calculators and additional articles. After students gain an understanding of the basics, they have the ability to learn about more advanced topics such as purchasing a car or insurance.

Duke recently formed a partnership with iGrad, the leading financial wellness education company, to offer an interactive financial literacy platform to students and alumni in addition to their Personal Finance @ Duke programming. iGrad can help students create a spending plan, select the right bank, and start to save for the future.
