[edit] History
The IBA was established in 1955 by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The Wharton School provided professors and assistance, to what would become the finest and most prestigious business school in Pakistan. IBA was then the first dedicated business school in the world established outside the US.[citation needed]
The IBA initially offered programs only for day scholars. In 1957, an Evening Program was started to cater to the needs of the numerous working executives and managers who were interested in furthering their careers through part-time business studies. In 1982, a three-year BBA (Honors) Program was introduced which has now been upgraded into a four-year BBA program. Till 1994, the University of Karachi awarded degrees to the graduates. In that year the Sindh Assembly elevated the Institute's status to that of a degree-awarding institution.
The Center for Computer Studies (now referred to as the Faculty of Computer Science) was established in 1983 with the collaboration of IBM, Pakistan. It initially offered a diploma in systems analysis to overcome a shortage of software professionals in the country. It now offers BBA (MIS), MBA (MIS) and BS (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology), MS (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology), and PhD programs. In addition, a PhD program in MIS/Computer Science and Engineering/ICT was launched in August 2005. The PhD degree has now been expanded to include Operations Research, Artificial Intelligence, Cryptography, Numerical Analysis and Numerical Computing.
When established, the university had its only campus, called University Campus, at Karachi University. Later another campus, known as City Campus, was established for evening studies. City Campus now holds both morning and evening classes.
The institute is known to have a very well disciplined record.
