BA in Communication Suggested Study Plan

Important: English Level

The below 3-year study plans are based on the English level at which the student started: ENG009, ENG101, or ENG102. Please choose the right study plan according to your English level.

Students starting in Byblos

Students who start in Byblos may complete the first 3-4 semesters in Byblos. For the last 3-4 semesters, they need to transfer to the Beirut campus and complete their program there. Or they can split their courses between Beirut (T-TH) and Byblos (MWF). The department will try its best to schedule all required second/third year courses in Beirut on Tuesday-Thursday to limit the number of visits Byblos students need to make.

Students are required to check their CAPP degree evaluation for details about LAC courses (cores and electives). Always consult with your advisor.
