Stanford Graduate School of Business will launch its first open online course (MOOC) in October, The Finance of Retirement and Pensions, led by finance professor and pension expert Joshua Rauh. The course, which runs for eight weeks starting October 14, 2013, will help participants become more informed decision makers about their own retirement portfolios and about related government programs and policies. Prospective participants may find more information, including a video overview, and register for the course online.
