The Louvain School of Management (LSM, formerly IAG) is the international business school of the Université Catholique de Louvain. The school is accredited by the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). It is the Faculty of Management of the Université catholique de Louvain, in Belgium and the Belgian member of the Community of European Management Schools (CEMS).
LSM offers Master Programs (Master in Management Science and Master in Business Engineering), a PhD Program in Economics and Management Sciences and Executive Education Programs, including an Executive Master Program in Business Administration.
The core faculty comprises 55 professors (all of them having a PhD degree), and around 150 additional professors from the corporate world. The school also includes a research and development department, the Louvain School of Management Research Institute with over 100 active PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers.
The Louvain School of Management was founded in 1897 under the name "école des sciences commerciales et consulaires" as a department of the University of Louvain. In 1972 it became the "Institut d'Administration et de Gestion" (lAG).
In 1989 the School started to offer a systematic exchange program. It is a member since 1989 of the CEMS network and since 1990 of the PIM network. It is also affiliated through the University to a large number of international corporate, research and education networks such as CLUSTER or COIMBRA.
In 2005 it became an autonomous part of the Universite catholique de Louvain and started to brand itself internationally as the Louvain School of Management. In 2006 it launched its International executive MBA. The School is EQUIS accredited since 2006. It became a faculty in 2010.
In 2011, LSM merged with the department of management of the Facultés universitaires catholiques de Mons (now UCL-Mons). So far, LSM is operating on two campuses: Louvain-la-Neuve and Mons. Negotiations for a full merger with two other campuses, the Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (FUNDP) located in Namur and the Facultés Universitaires Saint-Louis (FUSL) located in Brussels, were halted in 2012.
