History of the General Financial Literacy Course 

In 2004, the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) approved a one‐semester course titled “General Financial Literacy” (GFL) that would be  required for the 2008 graduating class. Utah was the first state in the U.S. to mandate a  financial literacy class as a graduation requirement.
