Modern University for Business and Science (MUBS) was founded in 2000 in Damour, the gate to the Shouf Mountain of Lebanon, under the name of MECAT. It was the brainchild of a group of intellectuals headed by Dr. Hatem Alamy, who had a vision for an educational institution that transcends religions and sectarian boundaries, cultural differences, and regional and local politics, to become an institution that the great potential of Lebanese students irrespective of their gender, religious, or political backgrounds.
That vision became a reality at the close of the second millennium, despite the obstacles placed on its path and the challenges encountered. With total perseverance, dedication, and commitment of the founding group, MECAT University College was officially licensed by the Ministry of Education & Higher Education'sEducation's decree number 3585 issued by the Council of Ministers on August 8th, 2000. In 2007 the University changed its name to Modern University for Business & Science (MUBS) to reflect its new status, vision, and mission. The change was approved by the ministry decree number 868 dated November 11th, 2007.
The University, which started with 17 students and five instructors, grew steadily over the years attracting students from diverse groups and bringing higher education to students and regions of Lebanon that were neglected and forgotten.

The University uses the Credit System, a systematic way of describing an educational program by attaching credits to its components. Under the Credit System, each course is assigned a credit rating reflecting weekly contact hours. In general, a three-credit course indicates three hours of lectures per week for one term.
A course represents a particular topic of study into a broader subject area and is the basic building block of a qualification. After deciding on the degrees and subjects of interest, you will need to decide on the courses to enroll in your academic year. Most courses are taught during one semester: Fall Semester (October to February), Spring Semester (February to June), and Summer Session (June to August), twice per week: Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday. Some courses may require attendance on Friday or Saturday.
