Academic Positions Open

The American University of Beirut was founded in 1866 as the first American University abroad, and historically the premier university in the Middle East. AUB continues to attract extraordinary students and to provide education following the American model. The School of Nursing at AUB, founded in 1905, was the first nursing school in the Middle East. Its mission is to promote the highest educational standards of excellence, integrity, and professionalism in the science of nursing. The School of Nursing plays a leading role in the development of nursing knowledge and practice in Lebanon and the region and prides itself on its graduates who currently occupy leadership positions in the field of nursing in Lebanon, the region, and internationally.

The School of Nursing at AUB launched the Master of Science in Nursing in 2003. The MSN with emphasis on advanced clinical practice has currently three tracks:

1. Adult Care with a possible Minor in Nursing Education,
2. Mental Health & Psychiatric Nursing
3. Nursing Administration
4. MSN/MBA is currently being planned
The MSN is benchmarked against leading programs in the USA and Europe and is tailored to the health problems and cultural needs of Lebanon and the Middle East. Other specialty areas such as Pediatrics, Care of Elderly, & Community Care are envisioned to be offered in the near future.
