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 our doctorate program, CSIM was changed to California International Business University . CIBU is one of only a few nationally accredited, private, international universities. We seek qualified individual students and global partnerships with recognized universities and colleges.
