IBM’s INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM

IBMT emphasizes its dedication to achieving excellence in its program and in the
development of the talents and skills of its students and faculty. IBMT’s dedication
to excellence is demonstrated through its commitment to continually improve its
curriculum, which is similar to that of major US and Australian universities.

IBMT divides its curriculum into two major programs: the University Core
Curriculum, which is commonly called the General Education Program (or
Baccalaureate Core Program) and the Bachelor’s Degree Core Requirements (or
the Major Discipline Study Program).

While the Major Study Discipline program provides students with knowledge of the
specific fields they have chosen, the General Education program benefits the
students by exploring a wide range of courses and content designed help students
respond and adapt quickly to new demands, challenges and opportunities they will
face in the course of their careers.

general education, which refines their learning skills, it is followed by providing
them with a solid background in business knowledge, skills and experience.
