Suleman Dawood School of Business
The current Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB), previously Lahore Graduate School of Business (LBS) was the first school to be established at LUMS, in 1986. To acknowledge the generous support received over the years by the family of the late Mr. Suleman Dawood, a prominent entrepreneur and business leader of Pakistan, the business school was named the “Suleman Dawood School of Business” (SDSB). The need for a challenging and relevant curriculum suggested the use of case studies rather than conventional lectures to impart knowledge. This decision was supported by close collaboration with Harvard Business School and the University of Western Ontario (UWO), both of which are pioneers in this teaching philosophy.

• Accounting and Finance
• Management Science
