History and Development of BINUS UNIVERSITY

BINUS UNIVERSITY was established on 21^st of October 1974 as a short-term Computer Education Institution called Modern Computer Course (MCC). Due to its strong foundations, vision, and continual dedication, the institution continues to develop and grow.

On the 1^st of July 1981, the educational institution developed into Akademi Teknik Komputer (ATK) with an Informatics Management Department due to the high demand of the industry. The ATK obtained registered on 13^th of July 1984 and a year after that, exactly on 1^st of July 1985, the Institution changed into AMIK Jakarta. Then, on 21^st of September 1985, AMIK Jakarta transformed into AMIK BINA NUSANTARA. In its earlier stage, AMIK BINA NUSANTARA was selected as The Best Computer Academy by The Ministry of Education and Culture through The Higher Education Board District III on 17^th of March 1986. The need for professional workers in the Information Technology area drove AMIK further into development, and on the 1^st of July 1986, it was officially listed as ‘Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen Informatika dan Komputer (STMIK)’ or Institute of Information Management and Computer Science Bina Nusantara.

On 9^th of November 1987, a merger between AMIK Bina Nusantara and STMIK Bina Nusantara took place. The institution conducted the Diploma (D-3) and Undergraduate (S-1) programs. Accreditation status of ‘Disamakan’ or ‘Equalized’ for all majors and levels was earned on the 18^th of March 1992. The following year, STMIK Bina Nusantara opened the first Masters (S-2) Program in Information System Management in Indonesia. The program was officially listed on the 10^th of May 1993.

After going through years of perseverance and hard work, Bina Nusantara University (Universitas Bina Nusantara or UBINUS) was officially listed and established on the 8^th of August 1996.
