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 which are Epidemiology and Population Health (EPH), Environmental Health (EH), Health Promotion and Community Health (HPCH), Health Management and Policy (HMP), and a Division of Health Professions. FHS offers the Graduate Public Health Program including a master’s degree in public health (MPH) (concentrations in epidemiology and biostatistics, health promotion and community health, and health management and policy), an MS in epidemiology, an MS in environmental sciences, major: environmental health (as part of an Interfaculty Graduate Environmental Sciences Program), and a PhD in epidemiology.
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 a 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 newly launched bachelor of arts in health communication. 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.
