The Middle States Commission on Higher Education accorded the American University of Beirut (AUB) accreditation on June 25, 2004 after an extensive institutional self-study. It was also the first time that the Middle States Commission conducted a peer team visit to an institution by video conferencing.
AUB has been registered with and recognized by the Department of Education of New York State since 1863. With the granting of Middle States' accreditation, AUB joins The American University in Cairo and American University of Sharjah as one of only three universities in the Middle East that are accredited by regional accreditating bodies in the United States. Middle States' accreditation is an expression of confidence in an institution's mission and goals, resources, and performance based on an institutional review by educational peers assigned by the Middle States Commission following an extensive self-study undertaken by the applicant institution. The process is intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education, confirming that it is worthy of public confidence. Participating in the review of AUB were top faculty and administrators from several higher educational institutions such as The Johns Hopkins University, The American University in Cairo, New York University, and Princeton University.
