Faculty of Economics & Business Administration

Dr. Mohamad Ahmad Farhat Dean of the Faculty of Economics & Business Administration

Dean's message.

I am pleased to welcome you to the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at the Islamic University of Lebanon. With our four campuses located in Khaldeh, Wardaniyeh, Tyre and Baalbek, we aim to deliver high quality, vocationally relevant, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Business sciences.

As a student in our faculty, you will be taught by highly-qualified faculty and business professionals where you will be encouraged to evolve your academic and personal potentials. Our academic staffs ensure that their teaching is kept pertinent and up-to-date through their engagement in fundamental research, which is directly related to the industry.

Whichever of our many highly regarded programs you decide to attend, you will be joining a vibrant environment dedicated to supporting you in achieving your academic and career targets, and you have a choice of 6 undergraduate and 7 postgraduate programmes. Our undergraduate students benefit from the opportunity to undertake a placement at prominent organisations such as Banque du Liban (BDL), Société Générale de Banque au Liban (SGBL), Ministry of Economy etc.

The faculty aims to maintain solid bonds with the business field through leading representatives offering significant advice in relation to curriculum development and graduate employability.

We are conscious of the ethical and social aspects of everything we conduct and we recognize the significance of engagement with business and society. Therefore, we act in a socially responsible manner and we persuade our students to behave similarly. Our major concern is our students, thus, we strive to ensure that they have a pleasant and enriching experience with us and to leave here with the incentive and commitment to become responsible individuals who can contribute significantly in their societies.

I would like to warmly invite all of you who are keen to develop your knowledge and upgrade your careers to explore our faculty further either online or through a visit to campus.

We look forward to welcoming you…

The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at the Islamic University of Lebanon has a history of about 25 years of supporting businesses and societies, locally and internationally, with highly qualified graduates who make a difference in their environments. With six undergraduate and seven postgraduate programs in the different fields of business and economics, the faculty is well prepared to cover the needs of students and societies throughout its four campuses in Lebanon. These programs attract a well-diversified portfolio of students from different countries and different backgrounds.

Drawn from different spectrums of backgrounds and businesses, our lecturers provide the students with hands-on experiences that transcend just theory. Our multilingual offered courses (English, French and Arabic languages) broaden the job horizon of the students and increase their potentials for landing their sought-after jobs locally and internationally.

Promoting innovation, creativity, critical thinking as well as the ability to make well informed decisions, all within an ethical framework, is what we aspire to incorporate into our students in the Faculty of Economics and Business administration at the Islamic University of Lebanon.

Sallie Mae Student Loans Review 2024

Affiliate links for the products on this page are from partners that compensate us (see our advertiser disclosure with our list of partners for more details). However, our opinions are our own. See how we rate student loans to write unbiased product reviews.

Sallie Mae is a solid lender that includes four months of Chegg with its undergraduate loans. Sallie Mae interest rates are higher than you can get elsewhere if you have excellent credit, and it charges late fees. 

0.25% discount on regular rates with auto debit

Sallie Mae is a solid lender that includes four months of Chegg with its undergraduate loans. Sallie Mae charges late fees, though, and you can get better student loan interest rates elsewhere.

• Apply through your computer or mobile device
• Customer service available via phone Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET or on Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET
• Five, 10, or 15 year repayment term, which will be assigned by Sallie Mae
• Loan approval requires a hard credit pull
• Loan amounts available: $1,000 minimum, up to 100% cost of attendance
• Repayment options available:
• Deferred: No payments for up to six months after leaving school
• Interest only: Only make payments on the loan's interest while in school and during grace period
• Fixed payments: Pay $25 per month while in school and during grace period

To get a student loan with Sallie Mae, you must meet the following qualifications:

• Be enrolled in a degree-granting school full time, half time, or less than half time
• Be pursuing a degree or certificate
• Be the age of majority in your state (18 years or older in many cases)
• Pass a credit check

You should consider your federal student loan options before applying for any private student loan , including one with Sallie Mae, as you can often get better terms and protections through the government.

You can contact customer support by phone Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET or on Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET. You are also able to send mail to Sallie Mae at its Delaware address.

Sallie Mae has a well-reviewed app that has received 4.6 out of 5 stars on the Apple store and 4.0 out of  5 stars on the Google Play store. You may like this feature if you want to manage your loan on the go. 

Pros and Cons of Sallie Mae student loans

• Four months of Chegg included with undergraduate loans.  The study service Chegg offers expert Q&A, and students can submit up to 20 questions per month.
• No origination fee . Other lenders may hit you with origination fees which are deducted from your overall loan proceeds. 
• Part-time students are eligible.  Most lenders don't offer loans to part-time students, making Sallie Mae stand out from the pack. 
• Only one term length for graduate loans . Graduate students will have a term length of 15 years. 
• Term length assigned for undergraduate loans . Sallie Mae has five, 10, and 15-year term length options. It will assign you one when you take out a loan. 
• Late payment of 5% of the amount due, capped at $25 . Other lenders don't charge late fees at all if you fall behind on your payments. 
• Customer service unavailable on the weekends. If you need help with your loan on the weekend, Sallie Mae won't be able to help you. 

Who Is Sallie Mae Best For?

Sallie Mae is best for part-time students looking to get a loan. They may find it hard to locate another lender that will offer them a loan. 

However, borrowers with excellent credit will probably find lower rates elsewhere. 

1. Gather required information . This includes your Social Security number, your school of enrollment, your enrollment status, the loan amount you need, your address, and other financial documents.

2. P ut in the details of your online application . You're apply to complete the application in about 15 minutes, and after doing so you'll get your rates. 

3. Send the required supplementary documents . Sallie Mae may need to see financial documents including proof of income and residency. 

4.  Sign your loan agreement . After you get all your documents in order, Sallie will send you a formal loan agreement. Sallie Mae will fund your loan after you sign on the dotted line. 

Sallie Mae offers student loans for many types of degrees, including:

• Undergraduate
• Career training and trade school
• Dental school
• Medical school
• Health professions

Sallie Mae Undergraduate Student Loans

You may like Sallie Mae undergraduate student loans if you want to avoid origination and prepayment fees, as the lender doesn't charge any. You also get four months of the study service Chegg for free. Chegg offers expert Q&A, and students can submit up to 20 questions per month.

However, there are significant drawbacks to Sallie Mae's student loans. The lender charges a late payment of 5% of the amount due, capped at $25. You won't be able to decide your repayment term length — the company assigns you a repayment term. Sallie Mae will also have to generate a hard credit inquiry to give you an approval decision, which could negatively impact your credit score. Most lenders only do a soft inquiry during this process, then a hard pull before you receive your funds.

Sallie Mae Graduate Student Loans

Graduate student loans aren't Sallie Mae's best offering, as the lender has higher APRs than competitors and doesn't offer many perks. Your only term length option is 15 years. On the bright side, you will avoid paying origination and prepayment fees. 

5.37% - 14.97% variable and 4.99% - 14.48% fixed

What Options Do I Have to Repay My Sallie Mae Student Loans?

After taking out your loan, you have three options to repay it: deferred, fixed, and interest-only. Each option has its benefits for different types of borrowers. 

The approval will likely take a few business days.  

Sallie Mae offers five, 10, or 15 year repayment terms for its student loans.

Sallie Mae undergraduate student loan APRs are 5.37% - 15.70% variable and 4.50% - 15.49% fixed.

While there is always a possibility a private company could decide to forgive student loans, the likelihood is extremely slim. No private loans are likely to be forgiven. 

The Better Business Bureau rates Sallie Mae, a BBB-accredited company, an A+ .  This means the BBB deems the company truthful in how it handles business, effective in its responses to customer complaints, and honest in its advertising.

Sallie Mae Student Loans vs. College Ave Student Loans

College Ave comes with a better minimum APR on your loan than Sallie Mae, so if your credit is in good shape, College Ave might be the better choice. 

You won't pay origination fees or prepayment penalties with either company, but you will pay a late payment of 5% of the amount due, capped at $25, with both lenders.

You'll be able to get your rate and loan approval with College Ave via a soft credit check, which won't impact your credit score. With Sallie Mae, the lender will perform a hard credit inquiry to determine your eligibility, which may negatively affect your credit score.

Sallie Mae Student Loans vs. Discover Student Loans

Sallie Mae has a similar APR range to Discover Student Loans, though you can get a lower maximum fixed rate with Discover. So if your credit isn't in as good of shape, Discover might be the better option. 

Discover has only one standard term available on its undergraduate student loans, 15 years, while Sallie Mae offers options of five, 10, and 15 years. Sallie Mae will assign your loan term to you.

Why You Should Trust Us: How we rated Sallie Mae student loans

We rate all student loan products in our reviews and guides on a 1-5 scale. The overall rating is a weighted average that takes into account seven different categories, some of which are judged more heavily than others. They are:

• Interest rate (20% of rating)
• Fees (20% of rating)
• Term lengths (15% of rating)
• Repayment options while in school (15% of rating)
• Borrower accessibility (15% of rating)
• Customer support (7.5% of rating)
• Ethics (7.5% of rating)

Each category's weighting is determined based on its importance to your borrowing experience. Rates and fees have the most significant impact on the total cost of your loan, so we weigh those the most heavily. Customer support and ethics are still crucial parts of the borrowing experience, but do not directly tie to a student loan's terms, so they have less of an impact on the overall rating.

USF Muma College of Business to roll out enhanced AI-focused business curriculum this fall

• Elizabeth L. Brown

TAMPA – AI and analytics are taking a front-row seat in the USF business classrooms.    Beginning this fall, the University of South Florida Muma College of Business will launch several new artificial intelligence-focused courses, majors and programs, infusing the teaching of AI and its applications throughout the undergraduate and graduate curriculum.    The goal is to ensure that every business student understands AI tools and how to use them, whether as an internal AI user or an expert in the field, as AI continues to expand its footprint into the business industry and job market.    “From the time that we wake up, AI is here, there, everywhere,” said Kaushik Dutta , the college’s associate dean of undergraduate studies and international relations. “We need to prepare our students for this new world, so they can use AI more confidently. We are focusing on the beneficial and ethical application of AI in the business context.”    Dutta said it’s all about preparing students for an AI-driven future where AI-powered platforms have emerged in every business industry, from accounting to supply chain to finance to marketing. And companies want to hire employees ready to wield those tools.    According to the World Economic Forum’s 2023 The Future of Jobs Report , the top trends in the AI job market include the increasing demand for AI skills, the growing importance of data science, and the rise of AI-related roles in non-tech industries. A 2023 technology trends report by Deloitte found that companies struggle to build a workforce with AI expertise.    “All business students will have a background in AI, and the new major will generate students who are more specialized in using AI in business,” said GJ de Vreede , interim dean at the Muma College of Business.    The new AI-centered curriculum changes include: 

• A new undergraduate major — AI and Business Analytics. The specialized major is geared toward high-achieving undergraduate business students who excel in the foundational courses and seek a rigorous bachelor’s degree track offering advanced technical AI and qualitative skills.
• Two new AI-focused foundational courses will launch in the fall of 2024. All business majors must take “AI and Information Systems in Organizations” and “Data Analytics for Business.”  

AI and Information Systems in Organizations replaces a basic information systems class and will teach AI skills through the use of marketing, supply chain, and finance case studies. Data Analytics for Business will focus on teaching Excel and the R programming language and applying statistical techniques to retrieve insights from data.

• Two new AI and analytics-focused master’s degree programs launch in fall 2024 – a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Business Analytics and a Master of Science in Financial Analytics.  

The master’s program enhancements are designed to prepare students to fill the growing needs of an industry hungry for graduates with expertise in AI, business analytics, data science, data engineering, and information technology across a wide range of sectors including technology, banking, health care, energy, entertainment, and many others.    The August rollout follows the launching of the re-designed Master of Science in Accountancy and Analytics in fall 2022 to incorporate more information technology and predictive analytics into the program.    Additional AI and analytics-centered curriculum initiatives are in the pipeline.    A new foundational course, Python for Business, will be offered in fall 2025 and a new Bachelor of Science in Fintech is planned for fall 2026.

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon’s political class, fuel companies and private electricity providers blocked an offer by gas-rich Qatar to build three renewable energy power plants to ease the crisis-hit nation’s decades-old electricity crisis , Lebanese caretaker economy minister said Thursday.

Lebanon’s electricity crisis worsened after the country’s historic economic meltdown began in October 2019. Power cuts often last for much of the day, leaving many reliant on expensive private generators that work on diesel and raise pollution levels.

Although many people have installed solar power systems in their homes over the past three years, most use it only to fill in when the generator is off. Cost and space issues in urban areas have also limited solar use.

Qatar offered in 2023 to build three power plants with a capacity of 450 megawatts — or about 25% of the small nation’s needs — and since then, Doha didn’t receive a response from Lebanon, caretaker Economy Minister Amin Salam said.

Lebanon’s energy minister, Walid Fayyad, responded in a news conference held shortly afterward that Qatar only offered to build one power plant with a capacity of 100 megawatts that would be a joint venture between the private and public sectors and not a gift as “some claim.”

Salam said that after Qatar got no response from Lebanon regarding their offer, Doha offered to start with a 100-megawatt plant.

Lebanon’s political class that has been running the country since the end of 1975-90 civil war is largely blamed for the widespread corruption and mismanagement that led to the country’s worst economic crisis in its modern history. Five years after the crisis began, Lebanon’s government hasn’t implemented a staff-level agreement reached with the International Monetary Fund in 2022 and has resisted any reforms in electricity, among other sectors.

People currently get an average of four hours of electricity a day from the state company, which has cost state coffers more than $40 billion over the past three decades because of its chronic budget shortfalls.

“There is a country in darkness that we want to turn its lights on,” Salam told reporters in Beirut, saying that during his last trip to Qatar in April, officials in the gas-rich nation asked him about the offer they put forward in January 2023.

“The Qatari leadership is offering to help Lebanon, so we have to respond to that offer and give results,” Salam said. Had the political leadership been serious in easing the electricity crisis, he said, they would have called for emergency government and parliamentary sessions to approve it.

He blamed “cartels and Mafia” that include fuel companies and 7,200 private generators that are making huge profits because of the electricity crisis.

“We don’t want to breathe poison anymore. We are inhaling poison every day,” Salam said.

“Political bickering is blocking everything in the country,” Salam said referring to lack of reforms as well as unsuccessful attempts to elect a president since the term of President Michel Aoun’s term ended in October 2022.

Lebanon hasn’t built a new power plant in decades. Multiple plans for new ones have run aground on politicians’ factionalism and conflicting patronage interests. The country’s few aging, heavy-fuel oil plants long ago became unable to meet demand.
