History
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 smaller campuses, the Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (FUNDP) located in Namur and the Facultés Universitaires Saint-Louis (FUSL) located in Brussels, aborted due to an insufficient vote by the general assembly of the Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (FUNDP).
