Beirut Residency Requirement

As part of the General Education program, all AUB Mediterraneo students are required to complete a residency period at the American University of Beirut (AUB) campus in Beirut, Lebanon. This requirement ensures meaningful cultural immersion, civic engagement, and a broadened global perspective.

Most students complete their residency during the third year of study, with support and guidance from the Office of International Programs. The residency can be fulfilled in one of three ways:

• Conducting a community-based and/or civic engagement project in Beirut
• Completing an internship in Beirut
• Spending one or two academic terms at the AUB campus in Beirut
