Ibmec is a private research university with five campuses in Brazil's main cities of Rio de Janeiro (two campuses), São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, and Brasília. Founded in 1970,[1] it is one of Latin America's most prestigious business and economics school and today offers undergraduate and graduate programs in several other disciplines.

Ibmec's undergraduate and graduate programs in Business, Economics, Law, International Relations, Engineering, and Accounting were awarded the highest ranking in all the evaluations conducted by the Brazilian Ministry of Education.[2] Ibmec was originally founded as a not-for-profit institute to educate members of the Rio de Janeiro Stock Exchange. Its pioneering approach and extensive international partnerships led the institution to be often regarded as the "Harvard Business School"[3][4] of Brazil.
