Key facts

American University of Beirut commits to excellence in delivering courses, competing with the best business schools around the world. Our faculty members constitute a team of dedicated professionals that eagerly provides personal guidance and mentoring for our students. They are trained at renowned universities in Europe and North America with a proven record of innovative research. There are as well those with a life long practical experience as CEOs, CFOs and consultants for leading banks and institutions in the region. These thought leaders, comprising both academicians and practitioners, bring top-notch knowledge and experience to the class room, with a genuine understanding of regional and international financial markets. The MFIN curriculum is regularly updated to reflect the dynamics of the global finance profession and to meet the needs of the local and regional job market requirements. For example, Fintech, data analytics, digital transformation and decentralized finance (DeFi) are now being covered in various MFIN courses. The project and case study approach followed by the MFIN program allows our students to hit the ground running after graduation. They will have the skill tools needed to succeed as finance professionals working in banks, consulting firms or other corporations. They learn how to interact with real-world financial markets and how to manage diversified portfolios by using financial software, databases and simulations. Decision making by investors, financial institutions and corporations is analyzed in various parts of the program. We have established recruiting ties with leading financial and non-financial institutions in Lebanon and the region. More than 70% of MFIN graduates end up working for commercial or investment banking institutions in the region. The remaining 30% are recruited by the major consulting firms (E&Y, Deloitte, KPMG, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Mckinsey, Bain, Strategy&, the Boston Consulting Group, etc.) Increasingly more of our graduates are opting to be part of the growing entrepreneurial environment in the region working for venture capital and private equity firms. Opportunities for MFIN graduates also exist with Family Offices, Central Banks/Ministries of Finance, Capital Market Authorities, Insurance Companies, Pension Funds, Real Estate Developers, regional and multinational institutions (ESCWA, Union of Arab Banks), among others.
