  1. Select “Advanced Search.”
  2. Choose “Document title” in one field and enter the exact article title, or type a key phrase in quotation marks (e.g., “strategic leadership”)

Important Update

On August 17, 2026, CIU became

Crestmont University

Our students come from across the United States and from more than 40 countries worldwide. As we’ve grown, our name has remained rooted in one state, one geography. The new name reflects what CIU has always truly been: 

a university without borders.
