can i have MBA in hospital administration degree in LUMS ?

No

I must say it is beautifully written article ( LUMS ). I congratulate everyone who is contributing in it. It is small article but gives a lot of information in unbiased manner. I am sure LUMS is lot more than written in this article, I am looking forward to read more about LUMS. People, who are working on it, should also try to improve sites of other universities in Pakistan. I am working in this area as well, if you need my help, I am always available. Thumbs up. --Spasage 06:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Improving article
I think this article continues to need a great deal of work. As an encyclopaedic piece, it lacks sufficient depth regarding the different schools within the university, and spends too much time listing things without providing any references for them. What's "state-of-the-art" about the facilities? Are they still that high? What about things such as the requirements to get into LUMS, or the acceptance rates, or what sort of university it is, 3-year, 4-year? How large is the student body? What's the proportion of undergrad to grad students? Any famous people on staff (I don't know any of this, but isn't Pervez Hoodbhoy somehow linked to LUMS?). Has the school produced any Rhodes/Marshall/Chevening/Fulbright scholars (you don't need names, but a few numbers would be useful). Just some suggestions out there. Take a look at how some other universities (the big ones) have organised their pages, see which ones are featured articles and try to get this up there! Am always happy to pop back in and look over/edit if need be. --Mohsin.Siddiqui 10:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for wonderful suggestion. I agree with all of them and will like to work on them. However, it depends if I have any free time available. I will keep them in mind and will try to work. You could also yourself get much of the information from LUMS website and help in improving it. --- ALM 10:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Reply to Mohsin's comment:

This year, approximately 50+ BSc. graduates received FullBright scholarships for advanced graduate studies abroad. This number has been exponentially increasing due to the USAID programme. Countless number of graduates from LUMS are now studying in Ivy League Universities (Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, et. al.) for their Masters and PhDs. Famous people at Lums? There are many (depend on what famous means). Our faculties (with may be 1 or two exceptions) are PhDs. The most senior political scientist in Pakistan is here. One professor invented the computer random function used worldwide in computers all over the world. Many Rhodes Scholars are also part of the faculty. Btw, Pervez Hoodbhoy is a visiting faculty member. State-of-art facilities? We have more than 10Mbps internet backbone infrastructure (more than most ISPs in Pakistan). The campus has 3500 network access points, and is completely Wifi enabled. We have the most resourceful and advanced library in the country. I hope that helps.


 * The answer to the question "State of the art" and other similar claims, is not simple w.r.t. the guidelines provided by wikipedia, since if somebody argues that the fact that LUMS is equipped with state of the art technology is a controversial point, then references have to be provided where reliable sources are cited as saying so. You or I merely saying so and providing evidence, comes under original research which is not how authenticity or reliability of claims is tested at Wikipedia. But until someone disputes the claims made in the article, it's perfectly OK to have them. Refer to WP:OR and WP:NPOV for details. Farqis 11:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added some citations for the LUMS library section, and replaced the blurb in the Financial Aid section with a more detailed description from the LUMS website. I made sure that their description is neutrual and factual. JafferHaider (talk) 15:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

reply to all
dear fellows state of the art thing was a vision, not a logical statement that is in need of any justification. if it is this, then you'd better ask editors to remove the motto, in GOD we trust in article USA because we all know how much trust they put in the entity called GOD many happy returns of the day [(talk) 22:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC)]

Fair use rationale for Image:Lumslogo.gif
Image:Lumslogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Language Neutrality
Certain statements in this article show that it is written by a university official who is advertising it rather than giving encyclopedic details. The introductory para states: "--state-of-the-art research facilities, which would be comparable to leading universities around the world". Please define 'state-of-the-art facilities' and how they are comparable to leading universities?

The following headings need citations: Faculty, Research at LUMS, LUMS Library, International recognition.

Furthermore, kindly remove statements like "OUR mission is to excel in supporting the academic and scholarly endeavor of OUR users, in their core instructional and research requirements through utilizing the best possible resources, systems and services" and "The Sports complex houses WORLD CLASS squash courts,a basketball court". These claims make make it look less like a encyclopedia topic. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 15:34, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * these issues (OUR mission....; ....Sports complex....) seem to have been taken care of (Anasim (talk) 01:59, 18 September 2009 (UTC))
