The idea of establishing Al-Manar University of Tripoli (MUT) dates to 1958, when the late Prime Minister Mr. Rashid Karami, together with educator Mr. Muhieddine Makkouk, a select group of leading citizens of Tripoli, decided to launch a project to meet the educational concerns of North Lebanon. In 1966, they formally established "Al-Manar Society," a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality education to students of North Lebanon and other regions of the Arab World.
During the years that followed, the SocietySociety focused tremendous effort on acquiring land suitable for establishing a world-class university campus. Through a combination of purchase and grant, the SocietySociety successfully secured 255,000 m2 of separate land plots at a location known as "Baal Al-Ghandour." With continued perseverance by H.E. Omar Karami, aided by a special governmental Decree, the scattered areas of land were redistributed to form one uniform plot of land designated for the university campus. Today, the broad area dedicated to constructing the MUT campus and its ancillaries stands at 150,561 m2.
After the assassination of H.E. Mr. Rashid Karami, Prime Minister Omar Karami assumed the Chairmanship of "Al-Manar Society" and formed the first University Board of Trustees in 1990. The Board was chaired by H.E. Omar Karami and 18 other prominent members of SocietySociety from Lebanon and the Arab World, each offering a unique combination of skills and financial support. The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan Charitable & Humanitarian Foundation donated funds to construct MUT's Central Library. Mr. Abdel Majid Shoman donated funds to construct MUT's Abd el Hamid Shoman Arts & Sciences Building. H.E. Mr. Moustafa Durneika donated funds to construct MUT's Administration Building, all of which currently stand as a shimmering attestation to the University's bright future as a beacon of knowledge for generations to follow.
The Faculty of Architecture and Design (FAD) provides a faculty team of outstanding designers, artists, architects, and scholars. Students undergo an educational experience underscored by rigorous requirements and reviews. They have educated on the premise that design is an art, and making art requires design. The notion of design at FAD is predicted on the marriage of science and the fine arts. Philosophically, FAD believes in the value of holistic education, one that balances the emphasis on the professional major with an equally important expectation that a student be versed in the humanities, literature, and the social sciences. This combination ensures that focused study is supplemented by a broad understanding of the context in which designers, artists, and art educators pursue their chosen fields of work.
The mission of the Faculty of Business Administration at MUT is an integral part of the MUT Mission. The faculty was established to satisfy the needs of the local community and students from outside Lebanon. The Business Faculty accomplishes its mission by fostering the following majors: Management, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Management Information System, and Hospitality and Tourism. The variety of the Business programs will provide enrolled students with the proper and necessary skills to find the right solutions to the business organizations in general and contribute to the economic development and growth of SocietySociety in particular.
Public Health is the science and art of promoting health, well-being, preventing disease and injuries, prolonging life, and improving quality of life through organized efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of communicable infections, the organization of paramedical services for the early diagnosis and prevention of disease, the education of the individual in personal health and the development of the social infrastructure to assure everyone an adequate standard of living.
The mission of the Faculty of Public Health is to advance public health knowledge, promote health and well-being, and prevent disease and disabilities within communities in Lebanon and the Arab world in general. The faculty strives to accomplish this goal through excellence in education, fostering research opportunities, and service to communities through collaborative partnerships. The faculty is comprised of three academic units: the departments of environmental and occupational health (EOH), nursing (NUR), and nutrition (NUT).
The Faculty of Science is committed to providing quality education and research facilities.

The Faculty of Science is willing to produce mature graduates where capabilities in science and technology shall assist them in playing a constructive role in national development. To achieve this objective, the faculty shall be engaged in the various programs such as teaching, research, academic exchange, consultancy, and any other means that together shall provide practically oriented education.
