Theology, the Académie Libanaise des Beaux Arts, and the
Faculty of Arts and social Sciences. From three Faculties, the
University has grown and developed to include nine: Académie
Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (Sin al-Fil - Beirut campus and Balamand
campus), Saint John of Damascus Institute of Theology, Faculty
of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of
Engineering, Faculty of Business and Management, Faculty of
Health Sciences, the Saint George’s Faculty of Post

in the Saint George’s Health Complex in Achrafieh, Beirut).
The latest is the Faculty of Medicine & Medical
Sciences which was established in 2000.
