About The Institution History and Location Founded as a women’s college in 1924, the Lebanese American University is a not-for-profit private institution of higher education in Lebanon rooted in the tradition of exemplary education. Since it was granted absolute charter by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1955 (the sole entity authorized by the State of New York to incorporate institutions of higher education and authorize them to confer degrees), the charter has been amended several times in response to the institution’s growth. The University currently boasts two campuses: its historic home in Beirut and a new campus in Blat, overlooking the historic city of Byblos. The two campuses together house seven schools. The emergence within the past three years of three new schools —the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing and the School of Architecture and Design — along with the transformation of the newly acquired University Medical Center – Rizk Hospital (UMC–RH) into a state-of-the art teaching and research facility, attest to the institution’s continued commitment to growth and excellence.
Accreditation LAU was accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE-NEASC) in November 2009.
Academic Schools and Colleges The University comprises seven schools: Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy.
Academic Programs and Degrees Conferred Academic offerings include 45 degree programs in 42 different major fields: 32 bachelor’s degree programs, 10 master’s degree programs, 2 doctoral-professional practice degree programs and 1 postbachelor’s certificate. During the academic year 2011-2012, the university awarded 35 associate degrees, 1496 bachelor’s degrees, 246 master’s degrees, 26 doctoral-professional practice degrees and 32 postbachelor’s certificates.
Faculty Full-time faculty for fall 2012 totaled 298, of whom 35 hold the rank of professor, 76 the rank of associate professor and 105 the rank of assistant professor. 65 percent of full-time faculty are tenured or tenure-track and 75 percent hold a doctorate or other terminal degree.
Enrollment With 7,457 undergraduates, 509 graduates and 172 students in doctoral – professional practice degree programs, enrollments in fall 2012 totaled 8,138. Of the 7,208 full-time students, 96 percent are undergraduates and 4 percent are graduate students and students enrolled in doctoral – professional practice degree programs. The undergraduate student body is 51 percent male. Of the total number of students enrolled, 1,676 are from 77 foreign countries.
Admissions / Retention 1,536 first-time students enrolled for the fall 2012. 78 percent of all first-time students were accepted and 51 percent of all first-time applicants enrolled. 2,516 or 83 percent of accepted first-time students attended schools within Lebanon. 2,485 or 82 percent of accepted first-time students attended private Lebanese schools. On average, 90 percent of first-time students return for the fall of the next academic year. 141 or 38 percent of all undergraduate transfer applicants were accepted and 59 percent enrolled in fall 2012. 103 or 40 percent of new graduate students were accepted and 78 percent enrolled in fall 2012. Of the students in doctoral – professional practice degree programs, 106 or 39 percent were accepted and 73 percent enrolled in fall 2012.
Finance LAU’s operating budget for 2011-2012 was $123,138,475, a 10 percent increase from the 2010-2011 budget, reflecting the university’s continued growth and expansion. 14 percent of this was earmarked for student financial aid.
Physical Facilities LAU campuses occupy 186,924 square meters of space, of which the Beirut campus represents 27,500 square meters, the Byblos campus 159,424 square meters. In addition, LAU rents off-campus locations of 3,850 square meters in Beirut and 2,296 square meters in Byblos. The university is also a major shareholder in the University Medical Center – Rizk Hospital (UMC-RH).
THE MISSION, VALUES AND VISION OF THE LEBANESE AMERICAN UNIVERISTY Mission The Lebanese American University is committed to academic excellence, student centeredness, civic engagement, the advancement of scholarship, the education of the whole person, and the formation of leaders in a diverse world.
Values In both planning for its future and conducting its daily activities, LAU seeks to act in a manner that is guided by a deeply rooted sense of shared ethical values and aspirations.

CHARTER, ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS Charter LAU is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. The University of the State of New York is the sole entity authorized by the State of New York to incorporate higher education institutions and authorize them to confer degrees. Beirut College for Women (which was to become LAU) was granted a provisional charter by the Board of Regents in 1950, and an absolute charter five years later. Since then, the charter has been amended several times in response to the institution’s growth. The University of the State of New York is a large system of educational services, including thousands of schools, colleges, universities, museums, libraries and other institutions. Its Board of Regents sets overall education policy for the State of New York and chooses a Commissioner of Education, who serves as president of the University of the State of New York and heads the New York State Education Department.
Accreditation Degrees awarded by the Lebanese American University are officially registered with the Ministry of Higher Education in Lebanon and with the Board of Education in the State of New York.
Institutional Accreditation LAU was granted accreditation by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE–NEASC) for a five-year period as of November 2009.
Program Accreditation The Doctor of Pharmacy program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). This status allows LAU Pharm.D. graduates to sit for the North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NAPLEX), and practice in most U.S. states. ACPE first accredited the program in 2002. LAU’s Pharm.D. is the only ACPE-accredited program outside the United States. The Bachelor of Engineering degree programs listed below are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org • Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Civil Engineering • Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Computer Engineering • Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Electrical Engineering • Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Industrial Engineering • Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Mechanical Engineering On October 1, 2011 the Bachelor of Science degree program in computer science was formally accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This accreditation action extends retroactively from October 1, 2010. AACSB approved The School of Business’ eligibility to begin the Pre-Accreditation Process, an important milestone on the road to success in AACSB accreditation. The Bachelor of Architecture degree is officially recognized by the French Government, which allows our graduates to practice in France and the European Union. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) which accredits all architecture programs in the United States has recently approved the eligibility for candidacy of the Bachelor of Architecture. The Bachelor’s in Nursing program at Lebanese American University is a new applicant pursuing initial accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (http://www.aacn.nche.edu/ccne-accreditation). New applicant status is neither a status of accreditation nor a guarantee that accreditation will be granted.

Building Name: Gilbert and Rose Marie Chagoury Health Sciences Center Year of Completion: 2013 (to be completed) Area in sqm: 15,500
LAD’s Health Sciences Center is no ordinary building. It is envisioned as a state-of-the-art educational structure. It is designed to motivate students and promote learning as an activity, support collaborative as well as formal practice, provide a personalized and inclusive environment, and be flexible in the face of changing needs and educational trends. This is why the individual spaces are flexible, creative, supportive and enterprising. The underlying concept behind the design is to build space around people rather than just technology. Fundamental human needs like comfort, natural light, good social ambiance, overall quality and window views take prominence. The modem design promotes access for all and is based around a central core, offering environments that are both self-regulating and allowing for ample natural light, which is maximized by the use of atria that create a noble, inspirational ambiance. The building boasts world-class facilities supported by a range of technological solutions in the classroom and beyond, from video streaming/ video conferencing and digitized collections of microscope slides to a library that is primarily electronic. From the very entrance, the building welcomes, impresses, and embodies the future. The use of space, light and architecture are coupled with touch panel information screens featuring institutional and course information for potential students, floor plans and promotional video displays for visitors, and key updates for students. A large plasma screen overlooking the entrance informs students of key events in the faculty calendar or activities for the day. The interior of the medical school building will be divided into teaching, research, and administrative spaces. A state of the art simulation center will enable students to learn and practice clinical technical skills.

Projects under Design
Building Name: Under Ground Parking Under Construction Area in sqm: 19,000 The Project consists of constructing a five story 19,000 m2 Underground Parking on the Byblos Campus and includes a bomb shelter in its lowest level, as required by the Lebanese Law. The Underground Parking will eventually house around 625 cars and is located at the center of the upper campus. Roof top terraces can be used as social spaces.
Building Name: Engineering Laboratory Project Under Design I Site under Excavation Area in sqm: 10,350 This building is intended to replace the existing Engineering workshops. It should be designed to meet the needs of the Engineering Faculty in a more efficient and up-to-date manner, with the following goals in mind: • To assist in the creation of an identity for the district. • To increase efficient building area and create more contemporary laboratory space facilities. • To accommodate additional program relocated from other buildings in the area. • To consolidate laboratory spaces requiring service access to the edge of campus. • Roof top terraces can be used as social spaces.
Building Name: Byblos Library & Central Administration Project Under Design Area in sqm: 6,500 The architectural firm, Atelier Pagnamenta Torriani, has submitted two separate buildings, providing distinct identities to both the Library and the Central Administration area. The fractal format of the design reflects the excavated mountain of the construction site and creates an interesting outdoor canyon-like space between the two structures.
