The State of California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) is a unit of the California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) charged with regulation of private postsecondary educational institutions operating in the state of California. Every few years the BPPE conducts an Announced Compliance Inspection on Approved institutions.

As announced, IAU received its long-awaited recertification. In addition to receiving recertification, IAU was approved to issue the Form I-20 for two (2) new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) degree programs.

After years of waiting, IAU has finally received its recertification! To demonstrate compliance, all Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified schools must go through the recertification process every two years. Recertification reassures its students, staff and the community that IAU is operating in compliance with SEVP and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations.

IAU has established a new Affiliate Support Center (ASC) with IGM Academy SDN. BHD, Malaysia to help support IAU’s most popular program, the MBA,through online mode of instruction. IGM is an institution of life-long learning, licensed and approved by the Ministry of Human Resources (HRDF/PSMB).

Since its inception, IAU has positioned itself to be an affordable educational provider. This strategy has allowed IAU to attract students from all around the world regardless of socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, a few factors are increasing tuition and fees effective for Fall 2022.
