Learn More About GUST

GUST? Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) was founded in 2002 as the first private university in Kuwait. Located in Mishref, near Kuwait International Fair Ground and next to ACK (Australian College of Kuwait). Gust has one of the most advanced campuses in the Middle East.  It is also the first university in the Middle East to implement PeopleSoft’s Student Administration System. It has a dual-enrollment and a strategic partnership agreement with the University of Missouri–St. Louis. As outlined in the initial GUST concept plan, “GUST believes that it is both possible and desirable to establish an American-style, accredited, and degree-granting university with campus locations in Kuwait.” GUST will accomplish these goals by developing and maintaining a ‘student first’ attitude and by providing a positive and creative work environment that respects diversity, new ideas and hard work.

GUST is committed to providing a distinctive education that emphasizes:

• Academic excellence

• A liberal education base

• Academic programs designed to ensure student success

• Use of continual advances in information technology

During the development phase, the GUST Planning Committee visited universities throughout the Middle East and the United States to identify the appropriate characteristics of a new university in Kuwait. Based on this analysis, UMSL was identified and a long-term cooperative agreement was signed. Consequently, the GUST degree programs and philosophy are modeled on those of UMSL which include a strong general education component combined with specialized education in the various degree disciplines.

GUST-Campus

GUST focuses on preparing creative thinkers who can take a leadership role in developing the nation as it progresses into the new millennium. GUST recognizes the importance of understanding the rapidly changing world in which we live, developing information processing and abstraction skills, becoming more understanding of diverse cultures, and building a strong “inner core” of basic values appropriate to the development of the local society.

GUST's EDUCATION As the first private university in Kuwait, GUST has responded to the growing need for Western-style education within the Kuwaiti Islamic cultural setting. As a responsible member of the community, GUST is committed to ensuring that students are able to succeed in their educational and professional endeavors.

With the opening of the new campus in Mishref, GUST is committed to allocating considerable resources to developing a state-of-the-art campus system supported by the latest information technology.

In summary, GUST strives to imbue an appreciation of learning for its own sake, to encourage students to become life-long learners, and to adapt readily to the constantly changing environment of the 21^st century.
