History
[edit]The university was established in 1979 as Al-Baath University (Arabic: جَامِعَة الْبَعْث, ALA-LC: Jāmiʻat al-Baʻth); it was established by Presidential Decree No. 44 issued by Hafez al-Assad.[citation needed]
Al-Baath University has 22 faculties, 5 intermediate institutes, 40,000 regular students,[2] 20,000 students in open learning, 1310 high studies students and 622 faculty members. The library contains some 63,000 volumes (as of 2011).[3]
Following the fall of the Assad regime, the university was renamed to "Homs University" by interim prime minister Mohammed al-Bashir of the Syrian transitional government on 25 December 2024.[4]
