Highlights

A CIMBA education goes beyond traditional classroom content. Seminars in European culture, international relations and etiquette are integral components of Consortium programs. Likewise, a variety of guest speakers provide students with the opportunity to meet and talk with todays leaders. Students have the opportunity to participate in cooking classes, art tours, musical events, presentations on international business and language courses are strongly encouraged. Tours of local companies also are a valuable feature of every program.
 
A key component of the programs philosophy is the dedication to an environment that minimizes separation between instructor and student. Professors share in the experience of everyday student life where continual learning is encouraged and enhanced.
 
CIMBA gives built in travel time for students to explore the rest of Europe and experience other cultures while abroad. During the semester program, students receive over 30 days to travel independently.
