International Graduate Business School Zagreb (IGBS Zagreb, www.igbs.hr) was founded in 2003, with initial support of grant from U.S. Department of State, for the purpose of delivering Top US MBA Program in Croatia in academic partnership with one of the best business schools in U.S. - Indiana University's Kelley School of Business (www.kelley.iu.edu). The founder and owner of the School is The Institute of Economics, Zagreb (www.eizg.hr), a leading Croatian research center in the field of economics.

Kelley School of Business faculty make the majority of lecturers at IGBS Zagreb MBA Program, joined by faculty from other prestigious U.S. universities, and research fellows from The Institute of Economics, Zagreb. All courses are taught in English. The curriculum has been shaped on the basis of Kelley School of Business MBA program. Kelley School of Business has constantly been ranked among top American business schools. "Business Week" has recently placed it among top 15 U.S. MBA programs in 2008.

CEOs and managers from leading companies in Croatia, and experts from the public sector are invited to give guest lecturers for determined courses.

Since today, four generations of students have attended the IGBS Zagreb MBA Program, creating a network of successful alumni members. Students are coming from a variety of business sectors: oil & gas, construction, tourism, banking & finance, IT, beverage and pharmaceutical industry, as well as from public administration. Some students in previous generations came from U.S. and Canada, too.

International Graduate Business School Zagreb is announcing the admissions to the fifth generation of MBA Program 2009/10, starting in October 2009 in duration of 3 semesters.
