University of Balamand

The University of Balamand is a private institution, secular in its policies and approach to education. It welcomes faculty, students, and staff from all faiths and national or ethnic origins. The university is located in the northern district of El-Koura, Lebanon. It was founded by the Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV of Antioch in 1988. The university’s main campus is adjacent to Balamand Monastery, but it has two other campuses in Beirut, including one which houses the majority of the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts. The majority of programmes follow the American system of education and are conducted in English. (Wikipedia)
