Antonin University

Antonin University is a private, non-profit institution of higher learning run by the Antonin Maronite Order in Lebanon. In addition to its headquarters located on its main urban campus in Hadat-Baabda, Antonin University has established educational branches in Zahle, Beqaa Valley, and Mejdlaya, giving the university regional access to education. Antonin University is fully accredited by the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education and operates under the international education system, which uses French and English languages as the main languages of instruction. 

The educational philosophy of Antonin University is built on the idea of promoting holistic human development at the university level, which means to educate students professionally and morally in a way that prepares them for life in a globalized world. The establishment of Antonin University has a long history rooted in the activity of the Antonin Maronite Order, which exists in Lebanon since its appearance in 1700. In order to establish Antonin University in the Lebanese higher education system, the order has put a lot of efforts in the development of educational plans for its activities.

Currently, Antonin University is one of the best not only in Lebanon but also in the entire private university world because it has received international institutional accreditation by the Swiss Agency of Accreditation and Quality Assurance. This achievement demonstrates the university's commitment to complying with strict European quality standards in all aspects of its governance as well as research and teaching practices. The university has special institutions, for example, the Career Development Center, which ensures that its graduates have the necessary skills to respond to the job market's demands.
