Founded in 1963, IPB University (formerly Institut Pertanian Bogor) has a distinguished history rooted in the development of agricultural higher education in Indonesia. Its origins trace back to 1940, when agricultural studies were first introduced in the country through the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Indonesia, Bogor. The establishment of IPB was driven by the nation’s urgent need for food security, a vision strongly advocated by national leaders like President Sukarno. Over the decades, IPB University has played a pivotal role in shaping Indonesia's agricultural education, evolving through critical phases including the colonial era, the struggle for independence, and modern post-independence development. Throughout its journey, IPB has maintained its dedication to agricultural innovation and national development. Today, IPB University is recognized as a leading academic institution in Indonesia, offering a diverse range of academic programs. The university comprises nine faculties and six schools, including School of Data Science, Mathematics and Informatics. With over 133,000 graduates by January 2016, the university plays a significant role in shaping Indonesia's skilled workforce. IPB offers 159 undergraduate and graduate programs across 31 departments, positioning itself as a comprehensive center for higher education and research. IPB’s achievements are widely acknowledged in the fields of education and research. The university is renowned for its pioneering contributions to agricultural and environmental sciences. Notably, IPB has significantly contributed to Indonesia’s self-sufficiency in rice production and broader food security efforts. The institution’s recent rebranding to IPB University marks a strategic transformation to expand its focus beyond agriculture into emerging fields such as marine sciences and tropical biosciences. This evolution reflects IPB’s commitment to providing world-class education and equipping its graduates to excel across a broad spectrum of industries.
