The Lebanese American University (LAU) announced in a press release on Thursday that it has converted its academic center in New York City into a branch campus.
Located in midtown Manhattan, LAU New York will now confer master’s and bachelor’s degrees. Students will be able to register in five remote and in-person programs tailored to the needs of the global job market, mainly in International Business, Business Analytics, Global Business Administration, Computer Science and Applied Artificial Intelligence. The BS in International Business program is said to be launched in September 2025.
“Through this move, we are expanding the boundaries of higher education and forging a path toward a future where cross-cultural exchange, experiential learning and global connectivity are seamlessly woven into the fabric of our academic excellence," said LAU President Michel E. Mawad.
LAU will also open exchange programs enabling Lebanon-based students to spend a semester or more at LAU New York, immersing themselves in the cultural, educational and professional scenes of the world’s most diverse city.
“These exchanges are core to the current educational needs of students, offering a truly international experience from LAU, and very differentiated employability prospects,” said Dr. Barbar Akle, Associate Provost and Executive Director of LAU New York.
