The Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) or Ekonomihögskolan i Lund is a business school at Lund University in Lund, Sweden.

The faculty conducts research and education in an international environment and offers a wide range of programs in economics, business administration, economic history, business law, information systems, and statistics.

Lund University School of Economics and Management is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB),[1] the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS)[2] and the Association of MBAs (AMBA)[3].

The triple accreditation, or the Triple Crown, is held by just over 100 business schools worldwide, and less than 1% of all business schools. Our accolades at both School and programme level support our position as a globally recognised business school.

The teaching of business-related subjects traces back to 1750, when Lund University got its first chair in economics. However, at that time, the professors usually had much broader academic fields to cover and they were often affiliated with other faculties within the university.

Over the years to come, the departments that today constitute the School of Economics and Management were established. In 1961, the Faculty of Business and Economics was established. The formal development of a unified school began in the late 1980s, when the first part of the campus, the Holger Crafoord Centre, was built with generous donations from the Crafoord Foundation. The building is named after the founder of the foundation, the industrialist Holger Crafoord.

An organisational change in 2004 led to the establishment of the School of Economics and Management as a separate faculty in its own right at Lund University.[4]
