Institute for Management Studies

PurposeThese programs expand the professional development offerings for St. John's supervisors, managers and administrators. The Institute for Management Studies (IMS) offers one-day professional development workshops throughout the year on a variety of topics. Since St. John's has limited internal resources, these programs will supplement the current in-house programs and help to create an organization of strong leaders and lifelong learners.
Time EffectiveAll programs are offered in a one-day format from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Cost Effective

IMS is a membership organization with over 400 members. Because St. John's University is a member, you may attend at a low fee to your department of only $385 per person, per session.
Note: Other reputable external management programs generally run between $500 and $800 per day. Fee may be subject to slight increase annually.

Programs are offered at four local sites including: NYC; Iselin, NJ (convenient to our Staten Island campus); Stamford, CT and Long Island.
