About American University of Science and Technology

    The American University of Science & Technology (AUST) is a private non-sectarian institution of higher learning, licensed by Lebanese Presidential Decree number 677. The University strives to provide top-level education at moderate costs to avail needy students of opportunities to receive American-style education. The institution adopts the ideas and thinking of its founders who believe that each individual should be given a chance to realize his/her potentials through a university-level training that is not prohibitively expensive or exclusive.

    The present-day American University of Science & Technology began in 1989 under the name “The American Universal College”. In August 2000, the name was changed to American University College of Science & Technology as per Presidential Decree# 3585/2000. As of August 2007, the present name of American University of Science & Technology was confirmed as per Presidential Decree # 677/2007.

    The Decree granted AUST a well-deserved university status with permission to offer programs leading to bachelor's and master's degrees in four academic faculties (Schools). These are:

    • Faculty of Arts & Sciences (FAS)
    • Faculty of Business & Economics (FBE)
    • Faculty of Engineering (FOE)
    • Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS)

    AUST’s commitment to international human understanding has led it to establish i) an extensive network of affiliations; and, ii) exchange and cooperation agreements with over 40 international universities in USA, Europe, Canada and the Middle East. Consequently, offering to the Lebanese and foreign students unique cross-cultural study opportunities; and, the faculty substantial research possibilities. The list of affiliations is available on the University website www.aust.edu.lb
