JIBS is recognized as the most international business school in Sweden with around 180 partner universities and has won international acclaim for its leadership in entrepreneurship and family business research. The school has a culture of student entrepreneurship with several businesses launched each year and student societies involved in finance, debate, international affairs, golf and sailing among other activities.

The Jönköping University Campus, consisting of Jönköping International Business School, School of Engineering, School of Education and Communication, School of Health Sciences, the University Library and University Services, is situated on the western shore of the lake Munksjön and not far from the south shore of the lake Vättern.
JIBS offers various undergraduate and graduate programs in English and Swedish. JIBS has created an entrepreneurial culture amongst its students who turn around 50 new ideas into successful businesses every year, often with the help of the Science Park in Jönköping, which works closely with the school. There is strong emphasis on working with industry and it is mandatory for students in Business Administration to complete academic assignments within a Swedish host company. The school has been a pioneer in taking steps towards internationalization, it was the first school in Scandinavia to offer entire programs in English on all levels, first to convert to the Bologna recommended separate Bachelor/Master program, and the first to admit on equal terms both Swedish and International students to the programs. It is ranked the highest in Sweden for exchange studies, and in some programs 85% of students study a semester abroad. JIBS also offers Summer School programs at undergraduate and graduate level.
