The School of Graduate Studies
The ICCFA School of Graduate Studies program is designed for C-Suite leaders and senior executives who are ready to drive collaboration, innovation, and growth while reaching the highest levels of leadership. Limited to only 12 participants, this intimate and highly interactive program will be conducted by industry leaders and leading non-industry professionals and will offer fresh insight and learning to empower you to improve the performance of your operations and lead your organization more effectively. Students will be able to learn in traditional classroom settings, one-on-one instruction, and in unique group projects.
Due to limited class size, it will be necessary to verify your graduation from the ICCFA University. Please do so using the link below.

The University’s Impact
“What I’ve found here with my fellow students and especially the instructors, is that they’re a circle of peers that I’ve been able to train with. But more often than not, they’re a personal board of directors. I can leverage their experiences not only here at ICCFAU during our one week, but I can also reach out to them throughout the year. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience.”
– David Brooks, eight-time ICCFA University attendee
