When Offered: Fall K‐State 8: None Pre‐Requisites: KSU cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher Rationale: Financial Counseling has previously operated as course number FSHS 756. To delineate the difference in the undergraduate level and graduate level course, a new course number and name is being proposed at the undergraduate level. IMPACT: This course is an option for the College of Business Admission’s thematic sequence. The advising unit was notified on 2‐
26‐15 of the proposal. (Ashley Croisant, Academic Advisor, College of Business Administration indicates they will adjust their thematic sequence documents.) Effective: Fall 2015 Course Add: PFP 460 Retirement Planning Concepts Credits: (3) This course surveys various types of retirement plans, ethical considerations in providing retirement planning services, assessing and forecasting financial needs in retirement, and integration of retirement plans with government benefits.
