Welcome

Bill Ward, Instructor

Hello and welcome to Fundamentals of Budgeting and Financial Management! This course will help students understand the role of budgeting as a key component of the administrative process through twenty-three lectures on various aspects of budget creation, cost analysis, and financial planning. As this is an introductory course, students are not expected to have any prior budgeting or planning experience, but must have a basic facility with mathematics, mathematical concepts, and “word problems.” Homework problems and reading assignments supplement, clarify, and reinforce principles covered in the various lectures. Students are expected to complete all assignments. A midterm and a final exam will test retention of course content and we will grade students on participation, which includes regular attendance at LiveTalks and participation in the BBS.

We encourage you to view the Syllabus, Schedule, and Faculty information pages (available via the buttons above) to find details about this course. In addition, please view this introductory video for the course.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please email me.
