Syllabi and reading material are the same as those utilized as a part of the United States. Furthermore, the prevalence of American and American-trained employees additionally guarantees that the university stays American in substance and as well as in name. Expectations of educational performance either coordinate or surpass those predominant on a "common" American campus. A few variables clarify the greatness, which supports American advanced education and aides AUD in the outflow of its American character: An educational module that grants general knowledge but allows for noteworthy specialization A program of extra-curricular exercises intended to develop the student's humanistic standpoint and social aptitudes Employees who merge scholarship and strategy in practicing their classroom obligations Training techniques that create solid aptitudes in essential thinking and exact and powerful self-expression The support of high academic models through transparent and predictable arrangements and Ingraining gratefulness for life-long learning.

Through this course, the students were able to participate in face-to-face dialogue with their counterparts from the American University of Beirut (AUB), discussing social and political movements in the Arab region due to the Arab Spring addition to visiting NGOs, historic sites, and refugee camps. “Merging the extracurricular with the academic and learning-by-doing is extremely beneficial to students,” said Mohamed Menza, affiliate assistant professor and director of dialogue in the Office of the Core Curriculum. “It allows them to get to know what is happening on the ground and augments their understanding of the region. This course is particularly beneficial to Egyptian students at AUC, as this kind of exposure enhances students’ knowledge about themselves and Egypt as a part of the Arab region. They can expose themselves to other viewpoints and other students’ realities.” The American University in Cairo is the region’s premier English-language liberal arts University — your portal to Egypt, the Arab region, and the world.

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. Today MUBS enjoys a diverse population of over 1800 students, 200 instructors, and 100 administrators spread across its campuses in Damour, Beirut, Aley, Semkanieh, and Jal-el-Dib Center.

AUT has been ranked 5th among the 44 private universities in Lebanon by www.webometrics.info. AUT employs over 90 staff members and 110 faculty members. A medical doctor, a psychologist, and a spiritual counselor are on campus to assist students and staff. Students and staff enjoy using a cafeteria, a sports court, a reading room, a lounge, and access to e-library and postal services. Traditional methods are revised, and paradigms shifted to meet the challenges of 21st Century global markets. Individuals need to consider many factors before making decisions of socioeconomic, geopolitical, technological, ecological, and cultural importance. Here a question poses itself. Is our Higher Education System paving the way for such an evolutionary shift? The answer lies with us. AUT has already taken the mantle to prepare coming generations for the new era. Its primary focus is on promoting interpersonal and intrapersonal relations, leadership, and independent maturity. A hands-on application of knowledge complements a solid theoretical background. The eclectic nature of learning is emphasized in the classroom, on the web, in on-the-job training, and at the workplace. What makes AUT different: AUT follows the Active Learning Method, which is more compatible with the modern workplace than traditional methods AUT has integrated technology in the learning/teaching process. Students make use of computers, the internet, and other technological innovations in their studies and can function effectively in the new millennium business environment AUT offers a sea of activities, both social and physical, to its students. Graduates will be well-rounded, critical, creative, problem-solving, team players, be ready for the new business environment of the 21st century AUT developed tripartite partnerships with highly reputed universities on the one hand and with industry and the public sector on the other hand, so students benefit from a model of learning that is best suited for professional success AUT maintains a low student/teacher ratio allowing for a better learning environment AUT offers constant support for students, with a dedicated Center for Student Success to help with their every need (first in Lebanon) AUT placement office assists students with finding internships and jobs in Lebanon and abroad AUT keeps a close watch over employment trends in Lebanon and the world, and its programs are often modified in order to adapt to the ever-evolving requirements of the workplace The mission of AUT is to provide an innovative, technology-rich, entrepreneurial, experiential university research and learning environment that produces civically active and market-ready graduates. AUT launched the Blue Caravan initiative for diabetes screening and awareness in 2013 and examined 5,000 patients throughout 40 different locations. Its action collaborates with the Ministry of Health, the International Diabetes Federation, and the Lebanese Diabetes Society. AUT has pioneered human rights by introducing this topic as a required course for all students in 2005, a step that was later on followed by other Lebanese and Arab universities. AUT is a partner of the United Nations for the Arab Regional Camp for human rights. It is a member of the American Association of College Registrars and Admission Officers and presided the annual meeting of Arab ACRAO, of which it is an active member. All students at AUT are required to take a course in Human Rights Issues. AUT has established a financial aid office that processes students' applications and takes decisions on whether applicants should benefit from financial assistance. The assistance consists mainly of unfunded discounts on tuition fees with some students participating in a work/study program. While it does represent an excellent humanitarian service to the local youth, providing unfunded discounts is not a sustainable one. Therefore financial aid funding is one of the focus areas for fundraising going forward. Since traditional education methods are no longer compatible with today's requirements for success in professional life, AUT has adopted the student-centered active learning method of education, including cooperative, team-based, problem-based, and other innovative techniques learning.

The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) is a private Catholic higher education institution founded by the Lebanese Maronite Order (LMO) in 1938. From that moment, these monks, who had been entrusted with a teaching mission for more than three centuries, have undertaken the management of USEK. Their remit was to provide university teaching in conformity with the labor market requirements and close association with scientific research. Being a national institution, USEK has brought its teachings and curricula into line with the Lebanese state's official requirements, which acknowledges the diplomas it delivers. Furthermore, USEK remains careful in achieving a synthesis of tradition and modernism in the educational options it offers while remaining true to a Christian humanism, which is imprinted on the general education it provides. Due to the pressure to democratize higher education, the University is deploying necessary efforts to fight exclusion and abide by a non-elitist policy, albeit without making any concessions concerning education quality. The establishment of decentralized regional centers (in Zahle, Chekka, and Rmeich) thus springs out of the wish to implement the right to higher education. USEK has adapted well in light of soaring socioeconomic development and has created new vocational specializations to diversify its education and meet the needs of the labor market. Nowadays, USEK welcomes more than 8,000 students across its twelve faculties and three institutes, i.e., fifteen academic units, which offer a broad array of diversified high-level education. Studies in USEK are based on the modular system of units, which are accounted for on a half-year basis, or "credits." Also, the adoption of such a structure enables students to enjoy flexibility on all levels for the prospective degree courses' academic and financial management. It also enables the Promotion of students' mobility in Lebanon and abroad: Credits can be accumulated and transferred from one University to another. Personalization of the students' training: Each student's academic course is adapted to his(her) personal and vocational project. Flexible Organisation of the semester: Students are allowed the freedom to choose the number of credits (while abiding by the minimum and maximum numbers set by the University) and the courses taken during the semester (out of a group of courses that are required for a given curriculum), thus enabling them to ameliorate how they set their schedule. Development of close pedagogical support: The teachers' follow-up and support are reinforced by the fact that thanks to this system, education is centered on the students. The offer of diversified courses to students promotes a multidisciplinary approach and exchanges within and among disciplines. Facilitation reorientation: Thanks to the establishment of links among the various education courses proposed, students can easily change their curriculum without losing all their achievements. USEK cultivates a strong feeling of belonging among its students, thanks to its welcoming student life and the multiple services. Hence, outside the framework of courses, student life in USEK takes several shapes and offers new occasions to develop new competencies and knowledge and build an extensive network of contacts: a student magazine, social associations, and clubs, pastoral work, cultural trips, student parties, etc. Since the University is keen on emphasizing the culture of the body and that of the mind, it also offers students a broad choice of sports activities. The program includes basketball, volleyball, football, tennis, table tennis, oriental dance, yoga, ski, etc. Also, USEK has several sports teams, which take part regularly in competitions among universities and national and international championships. USEK has always been interested in research activities, as proven by the international magazines published by the University (Melto, Parole de l'Orient), the annals and proceedings of high-level conferences and seminars held at USEK, in addition to the numerous publications, which are the result of individual or collaborative research works and which – by and large – pertain to a broad theme of diversification, namely that of the Lebanese and Near-Eastern heritage (musical, theological, liturgical, literary, legal, historical, architectural, technical, scientific, etc.). In this context, exchanges within and among disciplines are promoted, thus establishing links among USEK's faculties and institutes to achieve better collaboration. Moreover, the University has access to much resource equipment earmarked for research activities and put at the disposal of teachers/researchers and students. As higher education became widespread and the socioeconomic crisis in the country grew harsher, USEK has set the following objectives for itself: Make higher education accessible to all equally, without discrimination and, most importantly, without excluding economically deprived students Preserve the quality of its students' education and training to better live in society and their vocational sphere. Since its founding, USEK seeks, and by Article 92 of the Constitutions of the OLM (ed. 2012) and the Catholic Church's social teaching on universities, to contribute to all its students' development through quality educational programs and research in various fields of study. By providing a high-quality American-style education to its students, USEK intends to prepare future leaders for innovation, professional growth, and life-long learning, in Lebanon, within the Middle East, and throughout the world. USEK is committed to a faith-based educational development of its students rooted in the Catholic tradition, whereby spiritual values and ethics and respect for cultural and religious pluralism are promoted.
