À propos de l'USEK

L’USEK en bref

L’USEK est la seule université au Liban à avoir été créée en tant qu’institution privée à but non lucratif par des citoyens libanais, en l’occurrence par les moines de l’Ordre Libanais Maronite (OLM) qui misent sur l’éducation depuis le 7e siècle. Les programmes éducatifs et le développement de la recherche que nous offrons à tous nos étudiants sont conformes aux exigences officielles de l’État libanais, aux Constitutions de l’OLM et à l’enseignement social de l’Église catholique sur les universités et, plus récemment, au système éducatif de style américain et aux accréditations internationales afin d’élargir les perspectives de nos étudiants tant au Liban qu’à l’étranger.

L’Université a gardé l’élan de ses débuts et s’est développée tout en restant fidèle à un humanisme chrétien inclusif et non élitiste qui imprègne l’enseignement que nous dispensons. Notre enseignement universitaire concret est ancré dans notre engagement en faveur d’une gouvernance et d’une gestion solides, de l’évaluation de l’apprentissage et de l’enseignement, du bien-être des étudiants et du soutien de notre personnel sur la base des principes de valorisation de la communauté, de curiosité intellectuelle, de tradition et d’innovation, et de haute performance.

Les diplômes de l’USEK préparent nos étudiants à relever les défis du monde contemporain. Notre tronc commun éducatif solide propose des programmes dans tous les principaux domaines d’études et inclut de nouvelles spécialisations professionnelles alignées sur le marché du travail actuel.

Au sein de notre communauté composée d’une diversité d’étudiants, d’enseignants, de personnel et d’anciens étudiants talentueux, le sentiment d’appartenance à l’USEK émane de la force des liens communautaires individuels et collectifs basés sur les valeurs spirituelles, civiques et éthiques du respect de l’autre et de ses croyances.

La devise de l'USEK est la suivante : « Mais quand il viendra, lui, l’Esprit de vérité, il vous introduira dans la vérité tout entière. » (Jn 16,13)


Mission
Depuis sa fondation, l’USEK a pour vocation, conformément à l’article 92 des Constitutions de l’OLM (éd. 2012) et à l’enseignement social de l’Église catholique sur les universités, de contribuer au développement de tous ses étudiants à travers des programmes éducatifs de qualité et la recherche dans divers domaines d’études.

En proposant à ses étudiants une éducation de qualité de style américain, l’Université entend former les leaders de demain à l’innovation, à la croissance professionnelle et à l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie au Liban, au Moyen-Orient et dans le monde entier. Elle s’engage à offrir à ses étudiants un développement éducatif basé sur la foi et ancré dans la tradition catholique en favorisant les valeurs spirituelles, l’éthique et le respect du pluralisme culturel et religieux.
