GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

Faculty Full-time faculty for fall 2013 totaled 312, of whom 33 hold the rank of professor, 84 the rank of associate professor and 113 the rank of assistant professor. 66 percent of full-time faculty are tenured or tenure-track and 75 percent hold a doctorate or other terminal degree. Enrollment With 7,418 undergraduates, 524 graduates and 204 students in doctoral – professional practice degree programs, enrollments in fall 2013 totaled 8,146. Of the 7,272 full-time students, 95 percent are undergraduates and 5 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, 1,614 are from 77 foreign countries. Admissions / Retention 1,620 first-time students enrolled for the fall 2013. 84 percent of all first-time students were accepted and 50 percent of all first-time applicants enrolled. 2,788 or 86 percent of accepted first-time students attended schools within Lebanon. 2,742 or 84 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. 191 or 51 percent of all undergraduate transfer applicants were accepted and 57 percent enrolled in fall 2013. 154 or 61 percent of new graduate students were accepted and 79 percent enrolled in fall 2013. Of the students in doctoral – professional practice degree programs, 109 or 47 percent were accepted and 74 percent enrolled in fall 2013. Finance LAU’s operating budget for 2012-2013 was $138,678,780, a 13 percent increase from the 20112012 budget, reflecting the university’s continued growth and expansion. 13 percent of this was earmarked for student financial aid. Physical Facilities LAU campuses occupy 200,763 square meters of space, of which the Beirut campus represents 27,500 square meters, the Byblos campus 173,263 square meters.

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 institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. 16

INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITATION LAU was granted accreditation by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHEâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;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 the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET): • 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.

The baccalaureate program at the Alice Ramez Chagoury School of Nursing, Lebanese American University, is accredited by the Collegiate Commission on Nursing Education (CCNE). The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (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.

Lebanese American University

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.

A new life to Shannon Hall Building! Perhaps the biggest challenge is maintaining the integrity of this historic building while incorporating building codes and maintaining the structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetics. The building underwent capital renovation to include functional spaces in alignment with the program developments and University growth. It accommodates the Purchasing Office, Financial Aid Office, Department of Information Technology and Operations Management referred to the School of Business in addition to the Early Childhood Center. Keeping in line with its historical and pioneering role in early childhood education and the field of education in general, LAU has once again renewed its energy to revive the old Nursery with its new identity as the Early Childhood Center. The ECC continues in line with its historical reputation in providing a high-quality and developmentally-appropriate learning experience in a rich and stimulating preschool environment for young children aged between two and four years.
