  • I would recommend IAU to anyone looking for a great school. There’s wide flexibility of classes at IAU, so you won’t be sitting in a classroom all week long –but when you are in class, the size is appropriate and the professors will always be there to ensure you understand exactly what’s being taught. Their diploma is respected and the price is more than reasonable. Don’t hesitate to apply!

  • Studying at IAU provided me with tools to navigate working in America. Through classes and CPT, I have learned more about American businesses and gained working experience. One particular class that was especially beneficial was Business Math. The hybrid method of the classes allowed me to fully understand the topics through classroom discussions with my professors and classmates, and an online platform to further my learning.
