History

In 1991, Henri Ahlborn, then director of the Chamber of Commerce, reached out to universities in the United States in order to find a partner institution. As a result, Sacred Heart University started offering an internationally accredited MBA program, the first of its kind in Luxembourg. [2] During its 30-year history, SHULU graduated 700 business students representing more than 50 different countries. Sacred Heart University closed its doors in Luxembourg to all students and staff in July 2022. [3]

Academics

Program specializations included a full-time MBA program with an internship, where students received real-world experience at domestic and international companies in Luxembourg. The paid internships lasted between 6 and 9 months and come with career coaching and job placement assistance. Their part-time Executive MBA could be completed at the student’s pace, typically lasting about 2 years. [3]

They also offered graduate certificates in Private Equity, Corporate Finance, Digital Management (Blockchain & Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Transformation). [4]

SHULU’s programs were delivered at the Chamber of Commerce in Kirchberg, in the heart of the financial sector and European institutions. All classes took place on the weekdays between 6:30 and 9:30 pm, in order to adapt to the work and family lives of students. [3]
