Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics (also known as Católica Lisbon SBE or CLSBE) is the business school of the Catholic University of Portugal (also known as Católica Lisbon, UCP, or simply Católica), a concordatary university located in Lisbon, Portugal. The first undergraduate program in management at Católica Lisbon was established in 1972,[3] two years before the Carnation Revolution.

History

In 1972, Católica Lisbon established their first undergraduate program in Management. In 1989, the school took on its current form when the Business and Economics departments merged to form Católica Lisbon SBE. Their MBA program was then established in 1991, followed shortly thereafter with the launch of Executive Education in 1992. In 1997, the school launched its first foreign program of Executive Education in Angola.

2007 was a big year for the school - the first MSc program launched which was designed in accord with the Bologna Process. The Lisbon MBA also launched that year, and the school also received Triple Crown accreditation. This was also the year that the PhD Program was launched in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University. 2007 was also the year that Católica Lisbon SBE first appeared on the Financial Times Ranking, the first Portuguese Business School to do so.
