From the school’s founding, LU has placed its focus on practical down-to-earth education with strong international character. In the 1960s – 70s, meeting the demand of international students in American business education, the University offered a curriculum of outstanding Business Administration programs with special emphasis to Master of Business Administration degree with a variety of concentration areas.
