At your core, you're curious. About behavior - in humans, in businesses, in government. About the environment - and how we impact it. About the world - and what's happening in it. You want to develop a financial awareness - one that will help you (and in turn, others) make good decisions - from where to invest money to what bank is best. By studying Economics at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), you'll benefit from a creative, interdisciplinary approach to learning - and an education that puts you at the center.
