<p>hmm i do believe UCSB has a good overall Econ program, but like i said i only know from what my sister has told me, and now shes an accountant. I do think that their program is somewhat aimed at helping students pass the CPA, becuase of how easily my sister passed it, and becuse when she was studying she was talking about how she had gone over all this stuff like exactly, but that could be due to the Upper division classes she took. But i would assume that their econ over all is pretty strong, and you wouldn't need to worry about reciving an inadequate education from UCSB.</p>
