Program Reviews:
Summer 2025 Participant
The CIMBA program is very academically rigorous, as you commit a lot of time to completing the expedited courses. Taking classes at as fast a rate as CIMBA demands can be daunting, but succeeding in the classes ends up being very rewarding.

Spring 2024 Participant
My favorite part of CIMBA is the small-town feeling and campus that provides a very comforting community of students. I enjoyed getting to know every person in the program since we were always together in one building, so I met a lot of lifelong friendships and connections. I also enjoyed getting to travel every weekend with all my friends and see different cultures.

Spring 2023 Participant
I enjoyed getting to learn in a different culture and a smaller setting. Classes had less than 20 people. I enjoyed getting to meet new people studying the same thing as I am and getting to travel all around Europe with them.
