Abstract
This research aims at personal finance education for a smooth transition from university to society. A survey was conducted before and after the Personal Finance Education course for the fourth-year university students. Results showed that they felt uneasy about retirement expenses and personal finance before the course, although their consumer consciousness was solid. On the other hand, they were not knowledgeable about specific financial contents or how to obtain such information. After attending the class, their interest in and motivation towards personal finance improved. The students felt that the content was difficult, and it was suggested that personal finance education should be introduced to the course of career education and that continuing study was necessary.
