Management That Matters
CIAM Fast Fact
CIAM, founded in 2011, is supported by philanthropist Mr. Minglo Shao. The student to teacher ratio is 13:1 and all courses are taught by Faculty.
CPT requires students to apply each semester, and students need to ensure that their GPA is at least 3.0 during the semester they are enrolled in the program. If the GPA is below 3.0, the student will receive an Academic Warning, and the student will still be able to apply for CPT for the semester that he/she is in the Academic Wanning. However, if the total GPA does not rise to 3.0 for two consecutive semesters, the student will be subject to academic probation and the CPT will be canceled.
CPT is a mandatory course required by the school. All students are required to take a minimum of one semester of INT501 or INT599 as a 0-credit internship course or they will not be eligible for graduation. Students may also choose to take up to 6 semesters (2 years) of internships.
Students may take one CPT course per semester in the Experiential Internship Course, which allows students to obtain CPT work authorization.
UPDATE: Starting Spring 1, 2024, CIAM will begin a new Professional format of attending classes once a semester for two days at a time. Saturday 9am-9pm + Sunday 9am-2pm.
