Vision

Education is one of the gates to knowledge; and that knowledge is a gateway to freedom, freedom of thought, of choice, and of action. Belief that by being exposed to the best that was ever written or thought, students will acquire wisdom. For us, mind, or wisdom, comes first, and what really makes us human. The cultivation of wisdom should be an activity that never ceases. Acquired wisdom is the light under whose flood you can walk the space of life meaningfully. Having opened the doors to wisdom to our students, this will ultimately take the reflection on their heritage, their family and society at large.

Your contribution is your commitment not to any education, but to the ideals of liberal education, of which the American University of Beirut and the University of Balamand are fountains.
