Admissions

As of Fall 2024, the Lebanese American University (LAU) Honors Program offers a chance for motivated students to pursue a more enriching academic experience. Admission is conducted in two phases: pre-selection and selection.

Eligibility:

• You can apply to the Honors Program at the start of your studies at LAU, whether you’re a freshman or sophomore.
• Transfer students can be considered after one semester at LAU, once their grades are available.
• Students who were not initially enrolled can apply or reapply after completing a maximum of two full-time semesters.

Pre-selection Criteria:

• High school academic record: You must have strong grades in your 10th, 11th, and 12th years
• Freshman and sophomore applicants: You must have a minimum GPA of 3.5.
• Motivation video: Submit a 30-60 second video explaining why you want to join the Honors Program. Specific instructions and scoring rubrics will be provided.
• Curriculum Vitae (CV): Include your CV with a description of your extracurricular activities.

Selection Process:

An Honors Admission Committee, including the Director and representatives from each school, will review all applications and make recommendations. They consider not only academic achievement but also your motivation and potential for personal and professional growth. In some cases, an interview may be required.

We encourage you to apply if you are a high-achieving student dedicated to academic excellence and personal growth.
