About IBU
IBU is Ontario’s First Next-Generation Business University
IBU is a student-focused university that offers a growing set of undergraduate and graduate academic and professional degree programs that are career-relevant, can be completed in an accelerated time frame. You will graduate with knowledge, technical and interpersonal skills, and problem-solving experience. You will be prepared for roles in business and the private sector, community and not-for-profit organizations, and public service.
International Business University has been granted a consent by the Minister of Colleges and Universities to offer this degree for a program for a seven year term starting December 4, 2020. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs (e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies or other educational institutions.)
Our Story
International Business University started with the vision to establish an independent teaching-oriented and student-centered university in Canada.
We call ourselves a “next generation” university because we combine academic excellence with a curriculum geared to the needs of the future.
In 2015, a founding group of academics and businesspeople came together to make this vision a reality.
Right from the start, the intent was to establish a university specializing in business education with a global perspective encompassing businesses in Canada and around the world.
After extensive consultations with educational experts and business representatives, the group prepared innovative proposals to establish the university and its inaugural degree in 2019.
Ontario’s Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) considered the group’s proposals in June 2020, approving the application for a university title and the first of its programs.
Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities granted final consent on December 4, 2020, making IBU the first homegrown independent university ever to be established in the province.
Since then, the founding group has turned its attention to launching the university in time for its September 2021 start.
IBU administrators are also busy planning further undergraduate as well as graduate programs to entrench the university’s place as a global center of excellence in business education.
