Middle East University

The motto of Middle East University, “Gateway to Truth and Life,” can be traced to John 14:6. Thomas was slow in comprehending the teaching of Jesus Christ, so he inquired: “How can we know the way?” Jesus’ straightforward reply indicated that He is “the way and the truth and the life.”

Middle East University has always endeavored to point students in the right direction, to choose the one and only gateway that leads to the sublime truth and the genuine life. Our educational paradigm touches on all the areas of a learner’s existence. What MEU will teach and instill in you will undoubtedly prepare you to meet the challenges of this world.
