Do local community colleges offer course in Personal Finance? Mainly about investing for retirement. Nothing fancy or complicate, just basic understanding of the inner working of tax-deferred accounts. The risk, reward of equities versus bonds, mm, etc...

I always thought that every adult has an understanding of these basics, until I talk to a few of my friends and aquaintances. Everything seems to be above the head!

I'm not looking for courses, seminars offered by brokers. Only those offered by colleges (no agenda). The area I'm interested in in Orange County, California.

Thanks in advance.
