IPB is now one of Indonesian most prominent state universities. In 2005, it has a student population of almost 25,000 and faculty member of 1,327. It currently consists of 9 Faculties, 36 Departments and offers Diploma, Undergraduate, MS and PhD study programs (13, 34, 47 and 26 respectively). With its wide range of contact and activities, supported by ample of facilities and an excellent campus environment, IPB has become a leading player in nation building, especially in the area of agriculture in a broad sense and the rural development. Facing the challenges of globalization, IPB's organization is in need of revitalization. The approaches to be considered include changing the mindset of faculties, staff and all personnel throughout IPB, by altering concepts and structure and by applying multiple strategies for undertaking tasks. Most important of all is the need to increase IPB's capacity for innovation and change. This can be done by granting it the status of an autonomous institution. Government regulation (PP No. 154/2000) provides a suitable opportunity to independently explore all its available resources to better serve the goal of quality in education, research and community services. In relation to the implementation of IPB's vision as a leading higher education of international quality in the development of science, technology, art and human resources with tropical agriculture as its core competence, IPB has established collaboration with foreign institutes of education, research as well as commerce. There are about 50 memorandums of Agreements spread in 15 countries in 5 continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, America and Australia). This is parallel with the concept that "knowledge knows No Frontiers", this means no boundaries of countries to improve, develop and transmit the knowledge, wisdom, and values. In addition, IPB has also declared to be a research based university starting in 2007.}, pages = {155--159}, title = {An Introduction to Bogor Agricultural University}, volume = {58}, year = {2006} }
