The university's courses were formulated based on the practical American business approach and the European methodology of collaborative learning, with curriculum focused on promoting critical thinking skills by blending hands-on experiences with in-class instruction.[3] The university's graduate curriculum emphasized organizational behavior, inter-cultural negotiations and leadership skills, and training in managerial finance.[4] The university attracted students from more than 80 countries and organized many study field trips to both local and state businesses, including visits to the Silicone Valley, to complement in-class instruction.[5][4]

In May 2020, the university permanently closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

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.[7]
