Expanding our Campus Buildings and Infrastructure
IUGB’s growth has been rapid and shows no signs of slowing. From 17 students in 2007, the University now has over 850 students enrolled. This growth is expected to triple in the next ten years. To address this crucial need, IUGB is seeking financing and strategic partners for state-of-the art facilities to house our students and our academic programs.
