Modern University for Business and Science (MUBS) was founded in 2000 in Damour, the gate to the Shouf Mountain of Lebanon, under the name of MECAT. It was the brainchild of a group of intellectuals headed by Dr. Hatem Alamy who had a vision for an educational institution that transcends religions and sectarian boundaries, cultural differences, and regional and local politics, to become an inst...itution that the great potential of Lebanese students irrespective of their gender, religious, or political backgrounds.
That vision became a reality at the close of the second millennium, in spite of the obstacles that were placed on its path and the challenges encountered. With total perseverance, dedication, and commitment of the founding group, MECAT University College was officially licensed by the Ministry of Education & Higher Education’s decree number 3585 issued by the Council of Ministers on August 8th, 2000. In 2007 the university changed its name to the current Modern University for Business & Science (MUBS) to reflect its new status, vision, and mission. The change was approved by the ministry decree number 868 dated November 11th, 2007.
The University, which started with 17 students and 5 instructors, grew steadily over the years attracting students from diverse groups and bringing higher education to students and regions of Lebanon that were neglected and forgotten. Today MUBS enjoys a diverse population of over 1800 students, 200 instructors and 100 administrators spread across its campuses in Damour, Beirut, Aley, Semkanieh, and Jal-el-Dib Center.
Over the years, MUBS was able to position itself as an institution that strives for excellence and modernity, taking huge strides every year to maintain a high quality education that introduces the latest pedagogical approaches. MUBS remains committed, now more than ever, to its goals and mission as it continues to push forward to realize its vision through extensive internal development programs in association with the European Union Tempus Programs and partnerships with internationally recognized universities in the US, UK, France and Canada.

These values stem from a sense of responsibility towards our local and braoder community, and the great potential of our youth whose creativity is fostered and empowered through creative, modern pedagogical approaches that are reflective of our innovative and dynamic identity.
The University uses the Credit System which is a systematic way of describing an educational program by attaching credits to its components. Under the Credit System each course is assigned a credit rating reflecting the number of weekly contact hours. In general, a three-credit course indicates three hours of lectures per week for one term. Credits also reflect the amount of effort required of the student and generally assumes two hours of personal study for each contact hour.
A course represents a particular topic of study within a wider subject area, and is the basic building block of a qualification. After deciding on the degrees and subjects of interest, you will need to decide on the courses to enroll in for your academic year. Most courses are taught during one semester: Fall Semester (October to February), Spring Semester (February to June) and Summer Session (June to August), twice per week: Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday. Some courses may require attendance on Friday or Saturday.
Courses are assigned per level. The University uses level 100 to 700; level 100 is assigned for freshman and remedial courses, level 200 for sophomore, level 300 for junior and level 400 for senior. Levels above 400 are for graduate courses. Each course is given a code and a title, For example in "SSW205 Introduction to Social Welfare", SSW represents the School of Social Work and 205 is the numerical code of the course. In "MGT303 International Management", MGT represents the field of Management and 303 is the numerical course code. The course code is relative to other courses within a field or school.
