Certificate in International Management (CIM)
-
A unique advantage for BBA/iBBA students, the Schulich Certificate in International Management (CIM)* is designed to give graduates in all concentrations a competitive advantage in seeking job opportunities focusing on international business, both at the entry level and later as top executives. The courses taken to graduate provide a grounding in all aspects of international management and seek to develop the “global mindset” that is so important in today’s increasingly integrated world.
CIM focuses on “real life” international business experience. In the capstone course, students make on-site visits to firms which are heavily engaged in international business and interact with leading senior executives who discuss their international experiences.
CIM is listed on transcripts and students receive a separate diploma at the time of graduation. Students apply for CIM at the point of graduation although they are urged to indicate in third year their intention to graduate with the Certificate by completing a CIM Intent Form.
*The Certificate in International Management (CIM) was formerly called the Certificate in International Trade and Investment (CMITI).
