Programs
The School of Pharmacy offers two professional degrees:
- The entry-level Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, requiring five academic years
- The Doctor of Pharmacy, requiring six academic years including the B.S. in Pharmacy
About the B.S. in Pharmacy program
Completion of the B.S. degree will qualify students to take the National Competency Assessment Examination (colloquium) to practice in Lebanon. The B.S. in Pharmacy consists of two years of pre-professional studies (the "pre-pharmacy curriculum") and three years of professional courses. After receiving their B.S. in Pharmacy, LAU students may choose to apply for admission to the fourth professional year to earn the Pharm.D. degree.
About the Pharm.D. program
Graduates of the Pharm.D. program can sit for the North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) in the United States. Graduates who pass the NAPLEX are entitled to become licensed pharmacists capable of practicing the profession in the United States.
