The University Business Center at the Craig School of Business started working with the California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) in 2010 to offer an "Intro to Economic Development" course.

Since then, a total of about 500 economic developers throughout California and beyond have successfully completed this course (which sells out every year) and contributed toward the economic growth of California.

Demand is so high that University Business Center started offering an “Advanced Institute” this year for those students who have completed the intro course.
