About Us
The School of Pharmacy, located at the Byblos campus, was established as an integral part of LAU to meet the demand of a clinical pharmacy practice in Lebanon and the Middle East.
The School offers two professional degree programs: a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) and a six-year program leading to a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.).
The School prepares its graduates for a career in clinical pharmacy with a thorough understanding of drugs and diseases. The program prepares pharmacists who can act as competent consultants to the public in various pharmacotherapeutics matters and who can play a more effective role in patient health care in time of emergency. The clinical pharmacy curriculum is designed to promote interaction between pharmacists and other health professionals in the delivery of comprehensive health care.
