Student Profiles
Andrea Joia, USA
Study Abroad
"I chose ICMS because it provides a great studying environment with a lot of opportunities to further my knowledge in the events field. It also offers a more extensive selection of events courses than my home university, giving me an advantage over my fellow students. Everything is at our fingertips on campus; all students have access to the computer labs and quiet study areas, and we are so close to the beach where we can take a break from our studies. Being required to maintain professional business conduct on campus the College prepares us for survival in the corporate world."
Ross Seeger, USA
Study Abroad
"ICMS worked amazingly well as a place to study abroad. The academic part of the study was rigorous and challenged me to learn more about my own philosophies in managerial studies. Further, Manly is an ideal base to explore Sydney and Australia. The best part of my study abroad experience was being given the chance to break out of my familiar mould back in the United States. ICMS challenged me to think critically about different global management issues."
