Given the spirit behind the Lebanese International University (LIU) and its mission, internationalization is therefore essential for the university to fulfill its mandate to create and share knowledge, and to provide a learning environment that prepares students, faculty, and staff to function effectively in an increasingly integrated, global environment. This can be partly be done by introducing them to the languages, cultures, and intellectual traditions of other nations.

            The universality of knowledge in the information age, coupled with the increasing rate of cultural exchange dictate that the international dimension of higher education must keep pace with changes occurring globally. Internationalization is therefore essential for the university to fulfill its mandate to create and share knowledge, and to provide a learning environment that prepares students, faculty, and staff to function effectively in an increasingly integrated, global environment. LIU seeks to provide a global perspective by developing a vibrant international student body and partnerships that encourage faculty and student participation.
