1 1 Faculty of Music

2 2 Overview On October 31, 1970, from among all the universities in the Middle East and North Africa, the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik was the first to undertake the initiative of founding, within the Faculty of Letters, the Institute of Musicology. It would be unnecessary to highlight how much Lebanon and the whole region was in need of such initiative. This Institute was established, thanks to the efforts deployed particularly by Rev. Fr. Louis Hage, Founder and Director of the Institute from 1970 until 1986, and Rev. Fr. Etienne Sacre, President of the University between 1968 and Since 1986, the number of students has considerably increased. In order to educate them and respond to their aspirations, while simultaneously following the evolution of music as a science and an art in other countries, the University firstly added some more sections. Then, in 1993, it took the decision to transform the Institute of Musicology into the Faculty of Music; this was thanks to the dynamism of Rev. Fr. Youssef Tannous, Director of the Institute between 1986 and 1993 and the first Dean of the Faculty of Music between 1993 and The Faculty of Music consists of the following departments/programs: Undergraduate programs Bachelor of Arts in Music - Musical Education Bachelor of Arts in Music Musicology Bachelor of Arts in Higher and Specialized Music Education - Music Composition Graduate programs Research Master in Music - Musical Education Research Master in Music Musicology Doctoral programs Ph.D. in Music and Higher and Specialized Music Education Administration and Full-time Faculty Rev.
