In recent years, we have diversified our academic base in several ways while adhering to high standards of quality. For example, we have introduced many new academic programs. In addition to the long-established BBA, MBA and CS programs, we now have undergraduate degree programs in Accounting and Finance, Economics and Mathematics, and Social Science and Liberal Arts. We have also introduced graduate degree programs in Journalism and Islamic Finance. The typical IBA student now rubs shoulders with a broader range of colleagues than ever before. Moreover, we have re-designed our academic programs to give students more choice as research suggests that a broad-based undergraduate education brings out natural talents and aptitudes among students far better than a narrowly based single-discipline system does. Therefore, in addition to courses in their own disciplines, students are encouraged to take electives from other disciplines. Diversity in this sense is not a luxury but an academic necessity. We have also been diversifying our student intake across socioeconomic and regional groups of the country. We have done this through expanding financial assistance and outreach. During the last academic year, we offered financial assistance in the amount of Rs. 248 million to 995 students or approximately one-third of our fulltime enrolment. We recruited some of these students from remote and marginalized areas of Pakistan through our Talent Hunt Program, a diversity initiative that offers remedial training as well as financial assistance. Furthermore, our scope has steadily widened to include those who are not formal students. Our professional development centers, such as the CEE, the CEIF, the CEJ and the Aman CED, provide educational services to such groups in a flexible manner that takes into account their professional needs as well as their time constraints. Thousands of people take advantage of our professional development courses every year. All of the above adds to the diversity that can now be seen at the IBA. This is important for both academic and civic objectives. The empathy, understanding, goodwill and tolerance that comes from being thrust together at a young age with a diverse set of people cannot be taught; it comes from the experience itself, it is a form of learning by doing. The Institute has remained at the forefront of higher education in Pakistan by being open to change throughout its history. With the added emphasis on diversity, it is even better placed to fulfill its mission of developing leaders for Dr. Farrukh Iqbal tomorrow.
