California International Business University’s mission is to foster the development of an international perspective and the necessary educational experience to prepare its graduates to function more effectively in the growing transnational world of commerce.

CIBU’s mission flows from its institutional vision and is constantly expressed as its institutional and organizational character in observable and tangible ways. The vision of CIBU was created by its two co-founders, Dr. Klaus Evard and Dr. Michael McManus, who brought together European and American traditions of excellent business schools. Both shared the conviction that there was a need for and certainly room for truly international business schools in the United States. Their energy, compassion and commitment envisioned a school in a growth-oriented business environment in the US, which would bring together young aspirants from countries of the world who would study together with excellent faculty in a collaborative spirit. CIBU today is an expression of that original vision.

The primary outcome for CIBU, as an institution of higher learning, is to become a business school with a true international character within an expanding world of international business educational institutions in America and abroad. The CIBU model will train students to enter into various positions in the international marketplace including, but not limited to, entry-level positions for undergraduate students, management positions for master’s degree students, and senior administrative positions for graduates of the doctoral program.
