Bethlehem University had its beginnings in 1972 when the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Pio Laghi, formed a committee of heads of schools in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to study the possibility of establishing an institution of higher learning which would offer a broad education in arts and sciences.Beginning with 112 students during its first year, enrollment of the University increased steadily reaching 1,000 in the Fall of 1981 and 1,500 by 1987. The entire University was first housed in a 1893 school building on the site belonging to the Brothers. Facilities were later added to meet the needs of the growing student body. During the late 1970s a Science Building and a Library were added.
