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)
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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 Wikipedia: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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
