Learning to thrive: The influence of business and economics education on the financial well-being of university students at a mexican public institution

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the financial well-being levels of students from different faculties at the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC) and analyze the disparities among them. Welch's ANOVA was used to determine significant differences between the participating groups. The results revealed that faculties with economic and financial education obtained the highest financial well-being scores. These findings highlight the need to implement educational strategies that strengthen financial literacy across all disciplines to reduce existing gaps and contribute to a more equitable and resilient society.
