Credit card ownership comes with great responsibility—and losing sight of that responsibility can have serious repercussions. In Building Credit and Understanding Credit Reports, students will learn how credit cards work, strategies for managing credit cards, and discover the ugly side of poor credit card management by discussing the risks involved and the effect your credit use has on your credit score. We will also learn how to build credit if it is already established, or if you have none, how to rebuild after a major life event, and how to manage debt effectively.
