The Institute of Business Administration, usually referred to by its acronym IBA, is a university in Karachi, Pakistan and is considered one of the premier business schools in Pakistan.

The recurrent theme of the 50 years of IBA's existence is that business education should be relevant and looking to the future. The IBA provides an enabling environment, conducive to scholarship and research. The faculty, staff, students and members of the industry work together to achieve learning goals. Students acquire knowledge and skills through constructive and distinctive processes that encourage them to develop understanding of business concepts and issues, think independently and to make rational choices.

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.

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 was established in 1983 with the collaboration of IBM, Pakistan. It initially offered a diploma in system analysis to overcome a shortage of software professionals in the country. It now offers BBA (MIS), MBA (MIS) BS (software engineering etc) programs.

The institute feels proud to have a very well disciplined record. The campus discipline is managed by Mr Mobin Khalili.

In addition, a PhD program in MIS/Computer Science and Engineering/ICT has been launched from August 2005.
