History

IBA was founded in 1966 in collaboration with Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, under a Ford Foundation Financial Assistance Program with the objective of providing professional training to provide graduate level education in business.

From its inception in 1966 until 1993, the Masters of Business Administration (MBA) was the academic program offered by IBA. In 1993, after a review initiated by Professor Dr. M Shamsul Haque (Former Director, IBA; and former Treasurer, Dhaka University), a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program was added. Prior to that, in 1970s, the M.Phil and Ph.D. programs were introduced.

IBA has so far had 20 BBA batches and 46 MBA batches. In 2007, IBA introduced an Executive MBA (EMBA) program to meet the huge demand for quality education in EMBA. There are plans to revamp the BBA program (offering double majors, for example), too.

It is the first educational institution in Bangladesh to introduce semester system in contrast of year long traditional system of Bangladesh.
