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.

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 received Triple Crown accreditation. 2007 was also the year that Católica Lisbon SBE first appeared on the Financial Times Ranking, the first Portuguese Business School to do so.
