Maryland Council on Economic Education Endorses AP Business with Personal Finance
Leading state nonprofit supports this rigorous, college-level course as a credit-worthy pathway to financial literacy education for Maryland students
The Maryland Council on Economic Education (MCEE) today announced its endorsement of the Advanced Placement (AP) Business with Personal Finance course, encouraging Maryland education leaders to promote and adopt it as a course that sets the standard for high-quality financial literacy education.
"Every Maryland student deserves to graduate with the financial knowledge and skills to navigate adult life successfully," said Julie Weaver, Executive Director of MCEE. "AP Business with Personal Finance delivers exactly that — at a college level of rigor. We're proud to endorse a course that gives our students real, lasting skills. Recognizing it is the right move for students, for districts, and for Maryland."
MCEE is the state's leading nonprofit dedicated to advancing economic and financial literacy education. The organization supports the nationally recognized Standards for Personal Financial Education, developed in partnership with the Council for Economic Education and the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. Those standards define what students must know and be able to do to make sound financial decisions — covering budgeting, saving, credit, investing, risk management, and long-term financial planning — and serve as the national benchmark for quality personal finance instruction.
