Institute for Management Studies (IMS) Programs

These 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. These programs are intended to supplement the current in-house programs and help to create an organization of strong leaders and life-long learners. 

All programs are offered in a one-day format from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at four local sites including: NYC; Iselin, NJ (convenient to our Staten Island campus); Stamford, CT and Long Island.

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 $325 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.

Enhance Professional Development
These programs may be included on your PFP Development Plan and qualify as an Elective in the Management Development and Professional Development Certificates.

Who Should Attend
Administrators whose supervisor has approved their attendance and budget allocation.  There is a per-session fee which comes out of the participant’s department budget and therefore, requires supervisor approval.
