The Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi; is a public university in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The Institute of Public and Business Administration (IPBA) was founded in 1955, making it one of the oldest business schools outside of North America. The world-renowned Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania provided the initial technical support. Several prominent American professors were assigned to the IBA shortly after the University of Southern California established various facilities at the Institute. The course materials, curriculum, pedagogical tools, and assessment and testing methods were created with the assistance of renowned scholars from these two institutions. IBA has zealously guarded the high standards and academic traditions that it inherited from Wharton and USC while adapting and adjusting them over time.
IBA offers degrees in business administration, accounting and finance, computer science, mathematics, economics, social sciences, and liberal arts.
IBA offers degrees in Business Administration, Accounting and Finance, Computer Science, Economics, Economics and Mathematics, Social Sciences, and Liberal Arts at the undergraduate level. Degrees in Business Administration, MBA Executive, Computer Science, Economics, Islamic Banking and Finance, Journalism, Management, Data Sciences, Finance, and Mathematics are among the graduate programs offered by the IBA.
