Lahore University of Management

 LUMS
or Lahore University of Management Sciences is a
Pakistani University, which was established by
sponsors belonging to the country’s leading private and
public sector corporations. The goal of the sponsors was
to develop an institution, which would provide training
to the students belonging to upper and upper middle
class of Pakistan. It is one of the most expensive
university of Pakistan. All multinational companies
prefer LUMS graduates because they are the real
sponsors of LUMS. |

In November 1984
LUMS was granted a charter by the
Government of Pakistan for establishing the University
then
in March 1985, with the president of Pakistan (Mr. Zia
ul Haq) became the Chancellor of this university.
Through this charter, the University was given the legal
right to establish degree-granting programs. The Board
of Trustees, the policy-making body of the University,
comprises leading members of the business community,
academia and representatives of the government. The
principal functions of the Board are to set broad policy
guidelines and to review the operations of the
University. The Board of Governors, being the sponsors
of LUMS, raises the necessary funds for the University’s
operation and maintenance. Many board members are
representatives of the business community and form a
crucial link between the University and the
industry. |

In 1986 LUMS launched its Business
School with a world-class MBA programme (recently the
School has been renamed as the Suleman Dawood School of
Business). In 1994, LUMS started a BSc Honours Programme
in Economics and Computer Science. Over Subsequent years
this evolved to include more specializations. In 1996,
the School of Arts and Sciences was formed to oversee
the undergraduate programme at LUMS. Later on, masters
programmes in Economics, Computer Science and Computer
Engineering were also added, followed by the launch of
doctoral programmes in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering and Mathematics and the Executive MBA
programme. In 2002, a five year, integrated, BA-LL.B
degree was also included to the list of programmes
offered by the school.

As the programmes and departments
expanded, it became apparent that the scope and
diversity of the programmes offered by the School
demanded more meaningful division and focus. Hence, in
2006, School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law has
been established that oversees the Social Sciences,
Economics and Law Departments and the remaining
departments, namely Mathematics and Computer Science are
to become part of the School of Science and Engineering,
to be launched in 2008. |
