"What I love about being an ECI Major is how caring and dedicated the professors are. They care about their students understanding the material. They are very understanding in regards to how hectic a student-athlete's schedule can be. This major is a wonderful mix of Business and Criminal Justice classes which is timely considering the rise of corporate crime."
