IHC will be known throughout the MENASA region for our progressive American curriculum college education and superior rates of student success.Strategic Goals and Objectives:Increase access to higher education of under-served groups in the MENESA region.Foster innovation in teaching and learning to improve student success – establishing the Global Classroom and Anytime Anywhere LearningPromote college-wide interaction with, and acceptance of, diverse peoples, cultures, arts and perspectives.Engage all members of the college community in an ongoing program of environmental sustainability and resource conservation.IHC was founded on July 19, 2011 as an American curriculum business and liberal arts college. The founding investors and members of the Board of Trustees envisioned a college that would make higher education more affordable and accessible in the Middle East North Africa South Asia (MENASA) region. Their vision was especially focused on building a bridge to elite universities in the US after students completed their general education course requirements in Dubai during the first two college years. The four-year experience starting with an Associates degree in Dubai and ending with a Bachelors degree in the US will be seamless academically because IHC is structured completely on the American system of instruction (course content, American faculty and teaching methods, learning resources and transferability of credits to US).
