LAU's Beirut and Byblos campuses are both home to national cuisine, beach resorts and ancient harbors. A walkable city, you will be able to feast on traditional Lebanese mezza, relax on the beach and visit some of its most celebrated sites such as the temple of Bacchus and the ruins of Baalbek in between classes.
Students benefit from language immersion that combines pedagogy with practice. The curriculum also includes off-site trips and lectures that allow students to understand the cultural and political contexts within the Arab world.
