About The School
IE was founded in 1973 as a Business School for Executives and has grown into IE University, with five different schools offering degrees at the undergraduate and master’s levels. IE was founded by a young entrepreneur with a vision to create a unique learning experience, focused on innovation and humanities, two core elements of the school values and culture that continue to thrive. Students join an extremely diverse student body and are challenged in entrepreneurial thinking and sustainability to reimagine business and to create a better world.
IE continues to innovate as the world changes, developing a Liquid Learning model to adapt to the current needs of the students and the world we live in, leveraging technology to foster a fluid approach to learning from anywhere.
IE’s flagship International MBA is an accelerated 11-month program open only to those who have three or more years of work experience. Students can join in September or January, and the program is offered in two language tracks: English only or English and Spanish.
