ITB STIKOM Bali’s History

Starting from a meeting of several education practitioners, namely Prof. Dr. Made Bandem, MA., Dr. Dadang Hermawan, Drs. Ida Bagus Dharmadiaksa, M.Sc., Ak. and Drs. In 2000, Satria Dharma was very concerned about the rapid and dynamic development of information and communication technology (ICT) in the world, including in Indonesia and Bali, but on the other hand, there were no universities in the field of ICT up to the undergraduate level. So on May 20, 2001, the Widya Dharma Shanti Foundation was established which would become a Private Higher Education Organizing Body and then a permit for the establishment of the STMIK STIKOM Bali, and now known as Institute of Technology and Business (ITB) STIKOM Bali was submitted to the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of National Education.

With various efforts and twists and turns in obtaining permits and prayers, on August 10, 2002 the permit number 157/D/O/2002 was issued with 2 departments/study programs namely Computer Systems (S1 level) and Information Management (D3 level). In 2009 there was an additional new study program, namely Information Systems (S1 level). Currently, the Institute of Technology and Business (ITB) STIKOM Bali has become an international standard university that is highly trusted by the community, as evidenced by the number of students currently studying no less than 6,000 and alumni reaching nearly 4,000 (2015). In addition, various collaborations in the field of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education have been carried out with various parties, including government agencies, private institutions / companies, BUMN, BUMD, universities, both domestic and abroad.
