CAMPUSES Virtual Tour

The UA’s three campuses all over Lebanon have set their priorities in line with the University’s overarching mission. With our well-established and concrete commitments to excellence,
diversity, and integrity, we believe we are the ideal institution for you to study and embark on your professional journey.

Hadat–Baabda Main Campus Nabi Ayla–Zahle Campus Mejdlaya–Zgharta Campus

Founded in 1996 by the Antonine Maronite Order (OAM), the
Hadat–Baabda Main Campus sits on a sacred hill facing the
Lebanese Presidential Palace, crowned with a pioneering spirit
and an outstanding academic record.
A regional campus was established in Zahle–Bekaa, which was
relocated to a land owned by the Order in Nabi Ayla–Zahle. With
its decentralization and non-sectarian nature, the OAM salved
the academic wounds of the people of the Bekaa and helped
the people of the region pursue their educational goals, in order
to have a positive impact on their communities.
A third campus in Mejdlaya–Zgharta set on the land of the
Sarkis and Bakhos Monastery, progressively expanded its range
of programs to serve the community and make education more
accessible to all.
