Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Overview

Graduates of LAU’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) program should take the National Examination offered by the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education (Colloquium) to be licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) as per the Lebanese labor law and the regulations of the nursing profession in Lebanon. They may also seek RN licensure in other countries.

Program graduates with a B.S.N. typically work as registered nurses in all possible clinical settings. Graduates may also continue on to  graduate school to earn master’s and doctorate degrees in nursing, public health, health administration and other related fields; these degrees in turn permit them to move into management and leadership positions in healthcare or become faculty members at nursing schools.
