The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik is aware of its important role in society, especially that of aiding the formation of young minds in those who will take their place as future actors within political life. It is also aware of the importance of political sciences in the structuring of society in Lebanon and the Middle East. Thus it has created the Higher Institute of Political and Administrative Sciences.

The Higher Institute of Political and Administrative Sciences, which was created in February 2006 (decree no 16410), aims at training future officials in public administration and civil society, who are mindful of community spirit and ethics. The Institute contains three multidisciplinary educational fields, those of political sciences, international relations and public administration. These aim to:

• Provide students with a specialized education in political sciences, thus giving them access to a professional life.
• Develop the students’ analytical and synthesis spirit, thus enabling them to understand national and international issues.
• Prepare students to follow a specialized higher education curriculum.
