Chuck Noski received his B.S. degree in business administration, magna cum laude, and M.S. degree in accountancy from California State University, Northridge. In 2007, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by the California State University system.

In 2002, the CSUN Alumni Association honored Dr. Noski as a Distinguished Alumnus, and in 2011 the CSUN Foundation Board of Directors recognized him as an Emeritus Director for life following his many years of service on that board.

Dr. Noski is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Financial Executives International. He was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Financial Accounting Foundation and a member of the Standing Advisory Group of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In 2006, Dr. Noski was inducted into the inaugural class of the Financial Executives International Hall of Fame and, in 2021, was named to the Accounting Hall of Fame by the American Accounting Association.

Dr. Noski and his wife, Lisa, have been actively involved with CSUN and the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics for many years and have supported a variety of educational and other initiatives, including the Noski Auditorium and the Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts (formerly known as the Valley Performing Arts Center).

They also created the Noski Family Scholarship, which annually grants four accounting students with a financial award toward their tuition.
