Faculty members were extremely supporting in sharing their knowledge and experience and TRANSFORMING the same. We had faculties from corporate, which was most enjoyable and memorable to me. Not to stop myself in confessing that; it was my second home to vest with fantastic faculties. I would like to mention the one's whom I loved and craved for their sessions: Dr M Ambashankar , Dr.Joy Mukhopadhyay, Ms.Smitha, Prof. Guy Langvardt and ever inspiring director of IAU - Ryan Doan. I have always enjoyed Dr. Ambaji's sessions which was real time brain storming ; not mearly classroom but my communication of thoughts on the subject matter, which has helped me carry further. "Ambaji, I loved your sessions".

All the subjects we had during the course were very pragmatic and dynamic. I did work on real time case studies citing economic scenarios of the globe. Working on live case studies, presentations, discussions and brain-storming sessions stood classic and out did conventional teaching.These teaching strategies has made me understand the purpose and the concepts; the best.

The methodology in distance learning is a tricky one with most schools and to that effect  I was surprised when I was given priority as an international student who was studying in different time zones. Though my previous PGDM did help, it was instructors and professors at IAU who made me feel belonged with their pro-active and timely guidance to ensure not only am I well prepared with my tutorials before my exams but also for all my project related work.

I am an entrepreneur and someone who has risen through the ranks working in Fortune 500s before launching NetworkPlay in India and therefore the instinct of building business was extremely high and to that effect the marketing, operational excellence and proccesses driven subjects were all very intuitive for me to get highly involved during the program. All relevant tutorial guidelines, online library access and reference course material online were all made available whenever I needed them.

I already had embarked into a successful career and doing this course for me was more to refresh my mind and get prepared after 10 yrs of no tradional learning, which was the same reason why I also went to Harvard last summer. Preparing for ones career is a constant process and it is on the individual to determine what kind of learnings help one keeps abreast with latest techniques and also in tune with times in the changing world of business and economy. Keeping that as perspective I think that all the learnings has only added to my repeteiore of being a thorough professional.

All foreign students who are either going to the campus or doing the distance education program can be rest assured that all electives at IAU are designed keeping in mind student's pre-requisites, availability of time of the student/professional and their desire to learn. This is in itself is very different to most institutions world wide and therefore it is a highly flexible bunch of teachers and administrators who will ensure you win at all times.

"The best way to predict your future is to create it."

Impelling words Sanil Kimmatkar, 23, have spent his past years living by.

Like many other international students, Sanil faced incredible amounts of hardships upon his arrival in the United States. The major differences in culture as well as language barriers and steep tuition fees can take a toll on a then 20-year-old student from India. But nothing can hold Sanil back from creating his own future.

In December 2007, two years after enrollment, Sanil received his bachelor’s degree in the business field of Information Technology at International American University (IAU). He then decided to obtain his master’s degree in Management at Lincoln University, accredited by ACICS, located in Oakland, Calif. Student fees became an uphill battle for Sanil, in which he would work double shifts at Taco Bell and a cellular phone retail store. “I use to start my day by working in a cell phone shop, attend school during lunch time, and then finally end my day by working in Taco Bell,” Sanil reminisced.

Keeping up with payments of student fees had reached its critical peak, and Sanil had to take time off from the university. Sanil said he felt frustrations, but it couldn’t deter him from his life course. Sanil ultimately came to the conclusion that IAU was the best choice in continuing his higher education and enrolled for the MBA program in January 2008.

“IAU has the credentials in creating knowledgeable students that are strong enough to deal with the real world and achieve goals in their lives,” Sanil said.

I Being so many institutes offering management degrees today, it was a difficult decision to decide which college and university to choose for MBA. However, I came to know about Gupta College of Management through their ad in newspaper that they are about to offer IAU MBA course in India. Since I studied and worked in US for a while, my interest was to go for a US university degree and GcMAT sounded like a perfect solution at that time. Since I was part of the maiden batch, it was challenging to extract information and get the ball rolling since the infrastructure was getting ready to conduct the course, on the positive side; we got lot of flexibility on learning and schedule.

The GcMAT faculty is well equipped with highly qualified experienced staff with sound practical knowledge which made the learning really fruitful and enjoyable.

The GcMAT management staff is flexible and professional and provided whatever help was required to accommodate student needs.

Overall, it was a great learning, challenging and fun experience and I cherish every moment of what I learned whenever I put it into practice.

My name is Lam Nguyen and I am a recent graduate of the MBA, Class of 2011 program.  This experience has given me the opportunity to truly grow in my education, apply the theories taught in the courses to practical use in my personal business venture and aided my acceptance into a medical graduate program.  IAU's program gave me leverage at Mount St. Mary College in Los Angeles for my graduate program.  The courses are well taught and challenged my thinking.  The MBA program truly sets the bar for a great higher education institution because we are encourage to think outside the box, yet still adhere to a tradition school of thought.  I am amazed at my progress and what I have learned during the program.  IAU's staff and faculty truly encouraged and support my education; I am truly grateful and appreciative of the program.  Today, as an alum, I am furthering my education at a medical graduate school, but I know I will apply my knowledge and the education I received at IAU in my future endeavors.  Thank you again, IAU for the education and the foundation for future growth.

International American University provided the flexibility that I needed. At the time I attended IAU, I was an active Marine. When I was on active duty, it was almost impossible to attend any school. IAU brought to me the possibility to continue studying without stopping my service to my country.

Once I was discharged, my Bachelor of Business Administration degree helped me to negotiate my salary at Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Irvine, CA where I was hired as a Clinical Research Assistant.

The staff is well qualified and helpful and the curriculum is balanced yet demanding. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend IAU to any and everyone seeking a relevant, immeasurable and affordable alternative to the traditional brick and mortar schools.

I chose IAU because of the world class standard and the high proportion of international syllabus .

What I most like about IAU is the small student-professor and student-student ratio. It adds to the learning experience because they have more time to focus on our individual needs. Professors are ready to put all their energy into supporting students academically and helping them achieve their goals.
