Dr. Alex Sherm helped me with business structure and marketing, and religion classes from Jim Cummings were fun too. I am now working as a loan processor for a mortgage broker. The school helped me with that. The schedule is also very flexible. Taking classes in a hybrid manner helped me with my schedule.

Thanks to the nurturing environment, unwavering support, and high standard of education you provide, I have successfully completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. My years at the university were an immensely enriching and transformative experience. The program did not merely provide academic knowledge; it was instrumental in shaping my critical thinking, practical skills, and leadership capabilities through its diverse curriculum and engaging activities.

I believe my studies at IAU gave me additional tools to be more confident and successful in my business career, whether it would be working for an existing company or creating my own. Their internship program also gives us an opportunity to improve our skills and apply the theory we learn in class to concrete business life. Additionally, while studying at IAU you will get the opportunity to meet other students from all over the world, learn about different cultures and make connections that could last a lifetime.

International American University was my first choice in choosing a college to study in. It’s been always a pleasure to study at this university, the staff was very helpful with every question I had and it is always friendly atmosphere – not only admission but also teachers as well. IAU has many outstanding faculty, which is excellent. They are professionals in their field and they made a huge effort to make their subjects so interesting and special.

I’ve always said that going to IAU was the best decision for my business school education. It really gave me the flexibility that I needed to fit my personal schedule. Students will truly benefit from the school because the curriculum is informative and the school is very accommodating.

Most students enter college with a major or career path in mind and most students end up changing their minds. Exploring is a very important part of the academic process, and gaining work experience is a great way for students to acquaint themselves with a field they are interested in. By the time of graduation, the students have confidence that the degrees they are receiving are the right degrees for them.

It’s an immense pleasure for me to be a part of IAU’s family. Joining IAU’s BBA program at Nova has helped me to nurture my skills, potentialities and knowledge. The IAU BBA has given me the confidence to move ahead in my career.

This experience has given me the opportunity to grow in my education and career. The courses are well presented and challenged my way of thinking. The BBA degree from IAU has brought great success to my life and especially my career at Broadcom Corporation.

I feel immense pleasure to be part of IAU. The university creates opportunities for the students through its teaching – learning methods. I am confident that upcoming students are in haste to join IAU to create a bright platform for their future.
