Financial planning involves a comprehensive review of an individual's finances to set and achieve financial goals.  The Financial Planning minor at Illinois State supports a student's major area of study and promotes personal financial literacy including the principles of retirement planning, budgeting, tax and estate planning, and investments.

Why Study Financial Planning?
