MBA, 2024
When I started this master's degree couple years ago, I never imagined it would be the best choice I could make for a future I didn't even know I wanted. IAU opened the door for my growth, Immigration team saw potential in me that I couldn't have imagined. Now I'm here as a permanent resident, associate with one of the best legal firms in USA and being able to help other international students achieve the same! This is truly life-changing!
MBA - BAn, 2023
As a lifelong member of the International American University family, I have to say that IAU helped me to fulfill my potential and provided me with the skills and knowledge I needed, by combining the best of business approaches and strategies and constantly adapting to new trends. The skills I developed are essential and valuable in a global business world, but are also of great worth even should you never leave your native country.
MBA - MIS, 2024
Transferring to L.A. was the best decision I’ve ever made. IAU gave me access to real U.S. business culture, direct contact with recruiters, and a chance to grow outside my comfort zone. Today I work in finance for a multinational in San Diego.
