I benefited from modern teaching and learning approaches such as e-learning and using modern technology, with cooperative instructors who maintained constant communication. Courses like Doctoral Research Methods, Executive Decision-strategy making, and Leadership in Organizations had a significant positive impact, supported by educational platforms and links.
Completing my DBA at IAU from March 2021 to March 2025 has been a journey marked by perseverance. Transferring credit hours from Malaysia’s university during the COVID-19 period posed academic and administrative challenges. At the same time, I navigated a career shift in 2021, welcomed a premature baby in 2022 and cared for hospitalized parents in 2023. Despite these personal trials, I remained focused and graduated with a CGPA of 3.49/4.00 This achievement reflects not just academic effort but a deep commitment to growth through adversity and I am deeply grateful to IAU for supporting this journey.
I am truly honored and proud to be a graduate of this outstanding university. My academic journey here has been an unforgettable experience that shaped not only my professional skills but also my character and vision for the future.
The university provided me with a supportive environment, excellent professors, and opportunities to grow and challenge myself.
I will always carry the values and knowledge I gained here.
As an educational supervisor, I was able to apply theories and ideas I learned at IAU. The lessons, lectures, and classes were valuable, fruitful, and applicable to the real workplace. The program was designed in a smart way and has been helpful in my role working with teachers and principals.
The strategic frameworks from the business strategy course, communication skills from public speaking, ERP knowledge from managing enterprise resource planning, and ethical insights from business ethics were invaluable. The professors and supportive IAU staff were the key to my learning and career development.
I am so happy and thankful for the opportunity which God has provided me to study at IAU with highly educated and experienced faculty through distance education. The IAU faculty was so cooperative in providing the assignments and also helped me to achieve the course till the end. Thank you IAU for providing me such a platform to learn with theoretical and practical knowledge of Business Administration.
The structure of the lectures at IAU allows for shared experiences within the classroom, which was very useful, as many students come to IAU from all over the world. The teaching methods of the lectures are very appropriate and easy to understand, which fits working adults and distance learning students.

Corporate Strategic Planning and Organizational Behavior are among the classes that were most beneficial for me. In the classroom, we discussed case studies to help relate the knowledge we’d gained to its real-world applications.
I am deeply indebted to the staff at IAU. Both the academic and non-academic staff at IAU were excellent and very prompt in responding to my needs. This is one of the reasons that I, being a candidate from many miles away in Sri Lanka, was able to complete the doctoral program on schedule.
First of all, the staff and faculty are very kind. I got excellent help from the staff and faculty. Economics was particularly helpful. The program is fantastic.
My participation with IAU university was by far one of the extreme experiences of my life. It is a nice place to study and learn from multi-national students. I strongly recommend the International American University to anyone who is interested in a countless opportunity, not only grow as a person, but also develop the knowledge in multiple programs they offer and have an enhanced job opportunity.
