History

In 1985, the Consortium of Universities for International Studies (CUIS) was formed as a non-profit organization with the goal of providing international experience to business professors. A few years later, the university consortium created the business institute called CIMBA. In 1991, Clemson University became the degree-granting institution and graduated the first MBA class. In the mid-1990s, CUIS began its summer graduate study abroad program and created offerings for undergraduate students. CUIS began to offer study abroad programs for graduate students in 1997. In 1999, the University of Kansas became the degree-granting university for CUIS. The following year, CUIS offered its first semester-long program for undergraduate students and then later began to offer journalism and communication courses to undergraduate students. In 2008, The University of Iowa became the new credit-granting institution for CUIS, and CIMBA still offers courses through the UI's Tippie College of Business, College of Engineering, and College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. The classes offered by the program are taught by professors from the partner universities. The program has nearly 10,000 alumni living and working in 44 countries, including more than 1,200 MBA alumni.

Leadership Institute

Established by CIMBA founder, Al Ringleb, the Leadership Institute is based on more than 25 years of scientific research in neuroscience and social psychology. Ringleb and CIMBA Executive Director Cristina Turchet joined forces with Kepner-Tregoe, a multinational company specializing in problem solving strategies, to create this science-based curriculum. CIMBA's program focuses on giving students, managers, executives, and up-and-coming leaders concrete steps to improve skills related to decision-making, problem solving, self and social awareness, self-regulation, management, consulting, and training. [9]

CIMBA offers a three-day, performance-based program that develops student's leadership skills by allowing them to practice in front of their peers. Through personal growth assessments, participants learn their strengths, and area of improvements as well as their working style with other peers. [10]

The institute's mission is to help people develop skills to turn ideas into practical innovations, to effectively manage and lead others to higher levels of performance, and to become more confident in their abilities to overcome the most demanding challenges. The Leadership Institute is instrumental in supporting CIMBA's educational philosophy which includes three pillars of learning: knowledge, rational process, and leadership behavior.[ citation needed ]

About the campus

The CIMBA campus is based in Paderno del Grappa, in the Veneto region of Northern Italy, at the base of Mount Grappa of the Italian Alps. The campus is located at the Istituti Filippin, an Italian boarding school, which is shared between the CIMBA program students and the Italian students. The Veneto region is home to a business community that boasts more than 450,000 companies. [11] CIMBA collaborates with the local businesses and the community. For example, companies in Italy's entrepreneurial Veneto region (e.g., Benetton, Nordica, and Zanussi) work in partnership with CIMBA to provide MBA students with real-world Management consulting and Six Sigma projects.
