Bethlehem University (Arabic: جامعة بيت لحم) is the first university founded in the West Bank. Established under Israeli rule in 1973, the university traces its roots to 1893 when the De La Salle Christian Brothers opened schools in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Nazareth, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt.
