Institution --> Introduction The American University of Beirut (AUB) is a private, non-sectarian institution of higher learning, founded in 1866, which functions under a charter from the State of New York. It is administrated by a private, autonomous Board of Trustees. The University has five Faculties: Arts and Sciences; Medicine (which includes the School of Nursing); Engineering and Architecture; Agricultural and Food Sciences, and Health Sciences. In addition, there is a Division of Education Programs. The University is co-educational, and women are admitted to all Faculties. The language of instruction is English. AUB,
as a private institution depends on several sources for financial
support, as tuition and income from endowment cover only a small
part of its budget. Therefore, the University relies on contributions
from foundations and governments, with a major part coming from
the United States Agency for International Development ; |
