I don't exactly know where to start, but this so called college pretty much stole about 30K from me and my parents for an associate degree. The credits can't be transfered anywhere, the promised to help us find jobs but they never did.


 


the list i made below states what they say about themselves and the facts that you need to be aware of.


Do yourself a favor, stay away from for-profit schools. They just want your money and they are not respected among employers and most people. Go to a community college and/or a university. Its 2X CHEAPER than IBC if you go to a 4 year state school and 6X cheaper if you go to a community college, You will hate IBC. They don't offer any campus life, their classes suck, their subjects and content are middle school level, and they are TOO EXPENSIVE. 20K a YEAR for IBC 20K for a BS (4 year degree) at a state school - Thats 20K TOTAL 3-4K a year for C.C. (or even cheaper). The common interpretations about IBC are: Cheaper and quicker than a university and Community College Fact: NO IBC costs 22K per year + high interest with sallie mae( very super high) . IBC is better or highly regarded as an education institution. Fact: Hell NO, IBC is a slackers paradise, show up and you pass, grades mean nothing, you don't have to turn in your work. Tests are open note/book or you can take it home for a week. IBC classes are crap, they are middle school level and they don't teach the proper material. They don't cover advanced topics or most standard job requirements. The teachers are not even qualified, most are just people in a related field (like a realtor as an economic teacher, ya i had that 1). They also curve the grades, nobody fails the class as long as you show up, most teachers even tell you that. IBC is accredited and credits transf Fact: Ya if you consider a fake accrediating agency real. No other school besides IBC, and other for-profit schools accept IBCs credits. IBC is not regionally accredited either. Universities do not accept IBC's credits, despite what the IBC reps say.( mindy you B.....) IBC Reps care about you Fact: They are just a salesman, they get paid on commission, they will say anything to get a signature BEWARE. IBC Classes are Hand On: Fact: No they aren't IBC has smaller class sizes Fact: They have around 20 students in class, you can get small class sizes at a community college for 4 times LESS than IBC. IBC Talks to employers and gets graduates jobs Fact: This is a lie, they say they have a community committee where talk to employers. THey do not have any relationship. The IBC job fairs consist of Border patrol, waste management, bakeries, and mostly employment agencies. IBC is easier Fact: Yes this is the only thing that is true, its very easy, you don't need to learn anything or even do your work and you pass with your "Degree". If you want it easy and right now, then you shouldn't go, don't waste your money your not going to get anything out of it except a 40-90K dollar loan for the next 30 years. IBC is faster: Fact: It takes the same time, if not longer, then any other school. It amazes me that you take more time and still manage to learn less, if anyhing at all. You can pick your classes at IBC Fact: No everything is set in stone, you have no control, Books and classes are forced. Books are not used by any other school besides IBC, their isbn's don't even exist. The economics book goes from ch. 9 to ch 21 WTF? They charge 3x then what the book is worth. The teachers are qualified: No they aren't. Some lie and say they thought at XXX school, then why are they teaching at IBC for 30,000 a year? IBC does not require degree's or certification for their instructors.


 


I am sorry, i know this is quite alot to read, but iam still paying for this school and  got nth in return but a peice of paper that is worthless, just glad i have a job to pay for loan. What's even worse is that when i try to transfer my credits to other school, thier name doesn't even show up on the list.

International Business College - Great School

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, June 03, 2010

This posting is absolute trash!  If you are willing to work and put forth the effort you will get a good education and a good job!  I graduated in 2000 from the Accounting program with good grades and got an excellent job with a good company (one of the top 100 accounting firms in the nation) AND I am still there today!  My employer even looks for people specifically from IBC for certain positions.


 


Maybe you need to look in the mirror and determine what you could have done differently!   I have learned one thing in life.you get back what you put forth!  If you expected them to get you a job.. They won't do all of the work for you, you need to show your qualified, you're the one in the interview, not them.  If you wanted campus life, you should have gone to a different school.  This school never promotes to increase your social life.  Most people are not there for a social life.  They want an education without all of the drama.  By the way, maybe you should have proof read your post first!


 


Sincerely,


 


2000 IBC Grad
