USEK is a pioneering university with nine decades of academic excellence and an unmatched proactive leadership in innovation and sustainability.
Since its founding, USEK seeks, and in accordance with the Article 92 of the Constitutions of the OLM (ed. 2012) and the social teaching of the Catholic Church on universities, to contribute to the development of all its students through quality educational programs and research in various fields of study.
By providing a high quality American-style education to its students, USEK intends to prepare future leaders for innovation, professional growth and life-long learning, in Lebanon, within the Middle East and throughout the world. USEK is committed to a faith-based educational development of its students rooted in the Catholic tradition whereby spiritual values and ethics as well as respect for cultural and religious pluralism are promoted.
The Lebanese Maronite Order (OLM) founded the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) in 1938 with this vision:
To be a transformative institution renowned for exceptional academic excellence, preparing the next generation of leaders in Lebanon and the Middle East.
This vision has shaped our legacy and continues to guide how we educate future generations in Lebanon and beyond.
