The American University of Beirut is committed to fostering an intellectual community on campus where faculty are empowered by their own research and are encouraged to engage in collegial discourse and interdisciplinary innovation. This commitment supports the University’s mission “to participate in the advancement of knowledge through research” and enhances the educational experience of all AUB students.
 
Faculty and students – undergraduates, graduate students, and PhD students; working individually and collaboratively; with colleagues at the University and in partnerships with other institutions – are advancing our knowledge of a wide range of issues including the development of renewable energy resources, strategies for a sustainable environment in arid climates, peace mediation and dialogue, and treatments for human diseases. 

AUB offers its students and faculty a constantly expanding number of resources and services through its libraries, laboratories, computing centers, and administrative offices that are conveniently located throughout the campus.
