Thank you for your interest in the Santa Barbara area; BS Business program. Applications are not being accepted at this time.
CI’s Bachelor of Science in Business degree is offered through the Martin V. Smith School of Business & Economics. The program has a liberal arts and interdisciplinary focus built on critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. Students learn the fundamental principles of accounting, economics, finance, information systems, management, and marketing as applied in a variety of organizational settings.
A distinguishing aspect of the program is the requirement to take courses developed in conjunction with disciplines outside the traditional business curriculum such as biology, chemistry, education, English, fine arts, history, and performing arts. A capstone course provides students with the opportunity to integrate their knowledge through a global strategy simulation exercise.
BS Business is also offered in a fully BS Business online format.
