Annual membership entitles seniors to course enrollment all year, attendance at the speaker series, participation in day trip programs, and on campus library privileges. Members also have the opportunity to serve on the steering committee which determines curriculum and many other aspects of the program.
Courses are taught by CI faculty, retired college and university faculty, and persons with special expertise. Each semester a balanced and varied program of courses is offered in the arts, music, social and natural sciences, English and literature, and history.

We identify, understand and resolve social problems in California, the US and at an international level by designing and implementing financially, environmentally and socially viable social business models. Upon completion of their degree, graduates ideally enter the job market as entrepreneurs, i.e. job creators, offering employment opportunities in their own social businesses instead of looking for a job. Graduates today can obtain a Minor and Certificate in Social Business.
