Historical Background

The Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) was established in 1954 as an independent School of Public Health, the first of its kind in the region. The name of the school was changed to the Faculty of Health Sciences in 1978 to accommodate programs in allied health.

FHS serves to educate and train professionals and competent leaders to help meet the health needs of Lebanon and the region. Currently, FHS hosts four departments: Epidemiology and Population Health (EPH), Environmental Health (EH), Health Promotion and Community Health (HPCH), and Health Management and Policy (HMP); and a Division of Health Professions hosting three programs in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine: Medical Audiology Sciences , Medical Imaging Sciences and Medical Laboratory Sciences. FHS offers a BS degree in: Environmental Health, Medical Audiology Sciences, Medical Imaging Sciences and Medical Laboratory Sciences; a BA degree in Health Communication; an MS in Public Health (MPH) (concentrations in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Health Promotion and Community Health, and Health Management and Policy); and an MS in Epidemiology. FHS also offers an MS in Environmental Sciences, major: Environmental Health (as part of an Interfaculty Graduate Environmental Sciences Program), an Executive Master in Health Care Leadership, and a PhD program in Epidemiology. In addition, FHS provides teaching of public health to students in the Faculty of Medicine.

Accreditation

In October 2006, the Public Health Program (PHP) of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) became accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) and was reaccredited in 2012 for seven years term extending to 2019. In December 2019, the CEPH Board voted to renew the accreditation of the program for another seven-year term ending in 2026. The PHP includes the Master of Public Health, Master of Science in Epidemiology, Master of Science in Environmental Health, and the PhD in Epidemiology, as well as the Bachelor of Arts in Health Communication and the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health. CEPH is an independent agency in the United States, which is recognized to accredit schools and programs of public health. The PHP at FHS was the first graduate public health program to be accredited by CEPH outside the Americas and remains the only program in the Arab region. Accreditation indicates that the PHP of the FHS meets standards for Public Health Education of leading schools of public health in the world.

Mission

To improve the health of populations and advance the public health discipline and field of health professions in the region and beyond, through excellence in education, research, and community engagement.

Vision

The leading academic voice and driver for equity, justice, and better health in the Arab region and beyond.

Min​​​ors

To graduate with a minor, a student must attain a Minor GPA of 2.3 or more and meet the Faculty›s minor requirements. For more information regarding University minimum requirements for a minor, refer to the General University Academic Information section of the catalogue.

The Faculty of Health Sciences offers three minors, which require the completion of a number of courses as specified in the list below.

Minor in Environmental Health

The minor in Environmental Health introduces students to the environmental system and the interactive processes that affect human health, environmental protection and development. The minor in Environmental Health requires 15 credits, including the following: HPCH 205, ENHL 220, plus a minimum of 9 credits selected from the following ENHL courses: ENHL 221, ENHL 227, ENHL 231, ENHL 234, ENHL 235, ENHL 238 and ENHL 239.

Minor in Public Health

The minor in Public Health introduces students to substantive issues and methodological approaches in public health. Students are given an overview of the field in HPCH 205 and an introduction to epidemiology and biostatistics in EPHD 203. For the remaining courses towards the minor, students can choose from the list of approved electives from across the disciplines of public health according to their interests. A minor in public health allows students to become more aware of the factors influencing health and hence more capable of making choices that influence their own health and that of their communities. In addition, a minor in public health expands students’ career options by exposing them to an increasingly important and expanding profession. The minor in Public Health is not open to students majoring in Health Communication.

Students will be required to take:

  • HPCH 205 Introduction to Public Health (3 credits)
  • EPHD 203 Epidemiology and Biostatistics (3 credits)

The remaining 9 credits may be fulfilled through any combination of the following FHS courses (all courses are 3 credits unless otherwise noted):​
