International Graduate Business School Zagreb (IGBS Zagreb) was founded in 2003 through a partnership between The Institute of Economics, Zagreb (EIZ) and the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, with the support of a grant from the U.S. Department of State.

Partner institution Kelley School of Business has constantly been ranked among top 20 U.S. graduate business schools, and is a fully accredited member of AACSB International.

IGBS Zagreb has been conducting the international MBA Program in Zagreb since 2003. Its curriculum has been designed by the renowned Kelley School of Business faculty. Professors from Kelley School of Business also comprise the majority of teaching faculty at IGBS Zagreb, joined by the research fellows from The Institute of Economics, Zagreb.

After years of successful partnership between the two schools, from 2012 the whole program is delivered in Zagreb as the Dual Degree MBA/M.Sc. Program in Strategic Management. Students are simultaneously enrolled in both schools, and they earn two degrees – a Bologna compliant MBA degree from IGBS Zagreb, licensed with the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, as well as a U.S. Master of Science degree in Strategic Management from Kelley School of Business, Indiana University.
