Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth

Saint-Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) is a private Lebanese university, founded in 1875 by the Society of Jesus. The University counts 13 Faculties (religious sciences, medicine, pharmacy, dental medicine, nursing sciences, engineering, law and political sciences, economics, business administration and management, humanities, sciences, educational sciences, and languages), 18 Schools operating under USJ Faculties.

Education is provided on Beirut campuses as well as at the Regional Centers: Center for University Studies of Northern Lebanon (located in Tripoli), Center for University Studies of Southern Lebanon (located in Sidon), and Center for University Studies of Zahlé and the Beqaa (located in Zahlé).

USJ's mission encompasses three main dimensions: research through new knowledge creation, teaching through knowledge transfer, and service through using knowledge in the service of society. To carry out this mission, the University defines itself as an academic institution of French language and culture, which favors biculturalism (both Arab and French cultures) and trilingualism (Arabic, English and French).

USJ is equally accessible to all social classes and all communities and is dedicated to the service of the country and the region. It promotes, through teaching and research, issues of development and justice as well as questions on purpose. The University is also internationally oriented and is keen to benefit from the extraordinary potential of the network of Jesuit universities throughout the world. Its vision and mission are built around values such as the Jesuit Educational Philosophy, autonomy, collaboration, participation, freedom of conscience, political independence and social commitment. Combined with academic, professional and ethical excellence, and complemented by an authentic culture rooted in questions of purpose, USJ is dedicated to the progress of humanity.
