Welcome to Galen University.

There is now abundant evidence that societies around the world that invest comparatively more in relevant higher education are the ones that are developing sustainably and are providing opportunities for their citizens to live fruitful and meaningful lives.

Galen University’s success lies in the results of our efforts to play our role in the Sustainable Development of Belize. Those results are to be measured by the success of our graduates in becoming effective leaders in our Belizean society or in any other society, and in our deliberate engagement and influence in critical areas of National Development.

At the heart of our work is quality instruction in subject areas relevant to Belize’s Sustainable Development. This puts our focus squarely on providing value to our students and other stakeholders in the Belizean society. Our Mission is to provide to our students a holistic educational experience grounded in quality teaching, exposure to practical research, community service participation, personal wellness, and exciting sports; all with the aim of developing their leadership skills and empowering them to make choices that contribute to the Sustainable Development of their societies.

As a small, but fast-growing, private institution, we prefer to do a few things well and offer a select number of programs. This range of programs will be carefully expanded based on the needs of our stakeholders within the context of Belize’s National Development. The members of our Faculty, who directly deliver our courses, are committed to our Mission. Future members of our Team will be strategically identified and selected based on world-class academic and research achievements, combined with practical, international experience. We will continue to work very closely with our local, regional and international partners, and in particular with the University of Indianapolis, to fulfill our Mission.

To complement a world-class Faculty and Staff, we are developing our infrastructure to meet the growing requirements of our local and international student population. New classrooms, a multipurpose building, and sports facilities are being construction. We are also reaching out to our communities to ensure that more people have access to our quality programs.

In Fall of 2010 we began offering a Masters in Social Science in Belmopan and a Bachelors in Business Administration in Corozal. We started to deliver a similar Bachelors program in Spring 2011 in Dangriga, and in Fall 2011 beginning to offer this program in both Orange Walk and Independence, while we continue to offer the MBA in Belize City. Galen University is also launching a Bachelors in Computer Science, a Bachelors in Banking and Finance, a Masters in Education, and a Masters in Environmental Science for Fall 2011.

We look forward to everyone who has a stake in Galen’s success to help us shape our future. Together we will attain our goal to be among the very best in our region!

Go Galen Eagles!
