Lake Superior State University's Lukenda School of Business has been recognized among 84 business schools worldwide for its work integrating artificial intelligence into business education in the July 2026 edition of "A Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Business Education."
The recognition was included in a report developed by Inspire Higher Ed with support from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the Graduate Management Admission Council and the Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable, according to a community announcement. The report examines how business schools are incorporating artificial intelligence into curriculum, teaching, governance and student learning.
The initiative has grown from 26 participating institutions one year earlier to 84 institutions worldwide in the July 2026 edition, including 67 schools in the United States.
Professor Ralf Wilhelms, director of the Professional MBA Program in LSSU's Lukenda School of Business, worked with the initiative during the past year by contributing research and sharing the university's efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into business programs.
"Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way businesses operate and the skills employers expect from graduates," Wilhelms said. "Our involvement gives LSSU an opportunity to share what we are doing, learn from other institutions, and contribute to the conversation about responsible and effective AI integration in business education."
The July 2026 report notes that business schools are increasingly moving beyond the adoption of AI tools and focusing on governance, defining AI competencies and preparing students for an AI-enabled workforce.
Through its participation, LSSU is part of a broader national and international discussion about the future of business education, according to the announcement.
"Being included among these institutions is a meaningful recognition of the work our faculty are doing to ensure our programs remain connected to the evolving needs of business and industry," said Mindy McCready, dean of the College of Professional Studies at LSSU.
The July 2026 edition of "A Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Business Education" and participating school profiles are available through inspirehighered.com.
