History

Bina Nusantara University was originally founded as a short-term computer training institute, Modern Computer Course, October 21, 1974 by Joseph Wibowo Hadipoespito.

Rapid growth and people's interest led to the school's induction. Modern Computer Course had developed into the Computer Systems Academy (ATK) on July 1, 1981. It offered courses in Information Management and Information Technology. Three years after, on July 13, 1984 ATK acquired the "Registered" status and changed its name to AMIK Jakarta. On July 1, 1985, AMIK opened a course in Accounting Computerization. AMIK started using the name Bina Nusantara on September 21, 1985.

This Institute offered Information Management and Computer Science Study Program (S-1) while Computer Systems Study Program (S-1) was still in process.

On November 9, 1987 AMIK Bina Nusantara was merged with STMIK Bina Nusantara. It created a single institute offering Diploma (D-3) and Strata 1 (S-1) programs. STMIK Bina Nusantara achieved "Accredited" status for all its programs and levels on March 18, 1992. Having already carved a good reputation, STMIK Bina Nusantara inaugurated its Master Program in Information System Management, the first of its kind in Indonesia on May 10, 1993.
