SUMMARY…
The California Institute of Advanced Management (CIAM) is a WASC accredited, non-profit graduate school located in Alhambra, California. CIAM’s approach to education provides a practical and hands-on approach to students who are thereby equipped to lead and succeed in industry. Our emphasis is on the application of the subject matter and the student’s ability to demonstrate integration of the subject matter into their lives. The university’s mission is “to build upon the philosophy of Peter F.

The University offers in-person classes which are hybrid, with some weekend sessions on campus. The rest of the hybrid courses are offered online in both synchronous and asynchronous formats. Online classes are 100% asynchronous.
The university awards an MBA in Executive Management with two concentrations:
