AUD's multi-complex structure has been conceived to support the institute's programs (both academic and additional-curricular) to an American standard. The campus environment incorporates Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City. In satisfaction of its mission as one of only a handful of American-certified foundations of higher learning in the Gulf, The American University in Dubai seeks to reproduce the American formula for fruitful advanced education. 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.

We claim that it is a progression of qualities/points of view that sets apart American higher education in the final investigation. Eventually, AUD's selection of these qualities and their interpretation into a working strategy makes AUD American.

The Islamic University of Lebanon is a private Lebanese institution of higher education, licensed under decree n° 8600 of the 12th of June 1996. The Vanished Imam Sayed Moussa Sadr brought this idea forth and laid the groundwork for establishing this institution. The departed Imam Sheikh Mohammad Mahdi Shamseddine (May Allah sanctify his soul) made his best endeavors and utmost efforts to build this institution. Today, Imam Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan, the vice president of the Supreme Shiite Council and the chairman of its Board of Trustees, continues to develop and improve the University. Dr. Hassan Chalabi has been the President of this institution since it was founded. This University seeks to contribute to the Supreme Shiite Council's solution in Lebanon, which deals with the national coalition and consolidation of the different sects and religions in the Lebanese civil community, where one political framework encompasses an equitable state for all its citizens. Therefore, this institution is committed to providing faith and knowledge as an inspirational source for the nation, the citizen, the state, and the Lebanese society. The Islamic University is a national project for the future, arising from Lebanon's vision as a pioneer in all the different domains of modern knowledge. This institution aims to popularize and deepen higher education while considering the historical and contemporary conditions that are indispensable to a balanced perspective so that learning becomes the bedrock for the development of the nation. The University recognizes the 21st century's scientific and economic developments, which present exciting new prospects for Lebanon, the Arabic world, and the Islamic world. Furthermore, it contributes to the scientific advancement that keeps pace with all the different societies that preceded us in modern science. Therefore, the University has moved to implement new specializations, improving the quality of the curriculum, and meeting job market demands in the domain of business and services in Lebanon and the Arab and Islamic world. This institution has been working to improve the academic level and to strengthen cooperation and coordination of educational and cultural ties with other universities and institutions inside and outside Lebanon. University officials are fully aware that any single institution will never achieve these high ambitions no matter how qualified or efficient. They hope that the Lebanese, Arabic, and Islamic civil communities will also play such a vital role in accomplishing this excellent task. Society can provide different kinds of moral and physical support from individuals, institutions, and associations. The Islamic University of Lebanon is a nonprofit institution. It aims to provide both Lebanese and non-Lebanese students with higher education without discrimination based on race, nationality, religion, or sect, in the spirit of openness towards all the different world cultures. The Islamic University of Lebanon aims at: Providing a means of higher academic education in different pieces of literature, sciences, and specialized knowledge domains, Training a highly qualified academic staff, Paying particular attention to scientific research and developing it, Paying close attention to Arabic and Islamic studies, Showing interest in our cultural heritage, spreading it, and contributing to saving the values of righteousness and virtue of the humanitarian civilization, Enhancing scientific and cultural ties with various universities and their Lebanese, Arabic, and foreign scientific staff. The Islamic University of Lebanon is a grand edifice of science and learning. This place is precious and resides in the heart, as a national college for Lebanese citizens. Every year, hundreds of students graduate from this University, educated with science and knowledge to shape the bright future we want for our youth, the country's pioneers. Founding this University meets an essential need in a world where no one should dominate, and everyone is a shining beacon of knowledge to counter the threat posed by violence. We must insist on the value of science and knowledge in delivering the image of the true Islam, as a civilized universal message that lies at the heart of the past and expands into the future all over the world. Our University is a national institution that welcomes knowledge seekers, no matter which religion or region they belong to. We particularly want to encourage the Lebanese people to be armed with the sciences. Science is like an ornament: it is knowledge itself, and a discipline, and an education. Keep away from violence and perversion. Be pious scholars and charitable. Cooperate to seek pure knowledge in conformity with Allah's Messenger saying, "Seek knowledge even as far away as China."
Sagesse University, through its courses, thrives on serving the young generation, without any discrimination, to provide them a distinguished place in the domain of knowledge and access to the business world. This way, we are applying the policy of the rector (2001 - 2011), Mgr. Joseph Merhej, who aims at giving the young generation work visas instead of passports. The rigorous teaching provided by the University, based on the respect of human and moral values, considers the requirements of innovation and the complicated and various globalization challenges. From its new main campus located in the North-East of Beirut, at a crossroad joining the country's different arteries, Sagesse University continues its rational and well-balanced development with new achievements and relationships with other universities. The University promotes its openness and dialogue to move into new horizons. The tireless efforts of the University Rector and all his collaborators consist, with this in mind, to implement the mission and goals of the University. Sagesse University is the first national institution for higher education, which is deeply rooted in Lebanon and the neighboring countries' memory. It is present in our contemporary life with various degrees, taught through modern means and methods. Sagesse contains in its two campuses the following faculties: Faculty of Law Faculty of Canon Law Faculty of Ecclesiastical Sciences Faculty of Business Administration and Finance Faculty of Political Science and International Relations Faculty of Hospitality Management Faculty of Public Health Faculty of Engineering Sagesse University is a private institution of higher education and is dependent on the Maronite Archdiocese of Beirut.

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.

The institute's staff have suitable academic qualifications. Besides, many are or have been practicing experts of note. As far as workforce composition, North Americans have the most fantastic portrayal of any national gathering. AUD's multi-complex structure has been conceived to support the institute's programs (both academic and additional-curricular) to an American standard. The campus environment incorporates Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City. In satisfaction of its mission as one of only a handful of American-certified foundations of higher learning in the Gulf, The American University in Dubai seeks to reproduce the American formula for fruitful advanced education. 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. One may examine that the depiction above represents all universities. However, it is generally thought that something sets American colleges apart. We claim that it is a progression of qualities/points of view that sets apart American higher education in the final investigation. Eventually, AUD's selection of these qualities and their interpretation into a working strategy makes AUD American. View full university
