Opportunity Description

What is unique about this program?

IE University has its roots in IE Business School, which was founded in 1973 in the heart of Madrid's financial district. Those early years saw the launch of IE Business School’s MBA and Executive MBA programs. As Spain opened its doors to the world, IE served as a platform for debate on business challenges on an international level. In 1983 the School's International MBA was born. IE has since grown to become a hub for international business students and enjoys top rankings worldwide as a leading business school. IE has now expanded to be comprised of six different schools, such as the Business School, Law School, School of Architecture & Design, School of Science & Technology, School of Politics, Economics, & Global Affairs, and the newly launched School of Humanities. IE’s undergraduate programs have been growing rapidly, both in terms of enrollment and programs offered.
