California International Business University (CIBU) was founded in 1995 as a non-profit, private university in San Diego, California, USA.[1] The university is located in the Little Italy section of downtown San Diego. CIBU is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).[2] The university offers a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), a Master of Business Administration (MBA), a Master of Science in International Management (MSIM), and upper division classes leading to a Bachelor of Science in Management (BS).[3]

History

California International Business University (CIBU) was founded in 1995 as International School of Management (ISM), a California Nonprofit corporation. In 2002, to reduce confusion with similarly-named institutions, ISM changed its name to The California School of International Management (CSIM). In 2008, due to accreditation and addition of the doctorate program, CSIM was changed to California International Business University.

CIBU is one of only few nationally accredited, private, international universities. (Most or all credible universities in the USA have "regional accreditation", which has a higher reputation than "national accreditation.") It seeks for qualified individual students and global partnerships with recognized universities and colleges. CIBU prides itself in offering personal attention from professors in small classes, and a variety of academic support programs and services. CIBU is a business school with a true international character as students representing more than 80 countries have attended its programs. This provides students with the opportunity to experience a diverse multi-national environment as they pursue their educational objectives accompanied by a contemporary entrepreneurial spirit.
