Habib University’s undergraduate intellectual experience is mind and heart stimulating, interdisciplinary, grounded in both local and global contexts, mentored by highly qualified faculty and supported by student success services. Habib’s intellectual experience will give you tools to become thoughtful and reflective learners with a variety of intellectual and technical skills. It will help you deepen and broaden your understanding of the world in which you live so you can make conscious and sensible choices in your life for living and working.
