Requirements
SAT
UA accepts SAT as a substitute for placement exams in eligible programs. SAT-based exemptions by program type:

Per Lebanese MEHE thresholds, freshman applicants need a minimum SAT of 870 (Arts) or 950 (Sciences) to enroll directly into sophomore-year programs.
High-school grades
UA admits via three pathways:
- Admission on file — applicants with strong high-school grades in the relevant subjects (e.g., 12/20 or above in Mathematics for business programs) may be exempted from placement exams.
- Admission on title — applicants with the Lebanese Baccalaureate or equivalent (overall ≥14/20 with ≥12/20 in the program-relevant subject) qualify directly.
- Transfer admission — students with credited courses at another higher-education institution, validated by the Office of Orientation and Admissions and the department's Transfer Committee.
Recognized secondary credentials include the Lebanese Baccalaureate, French Bac, IB, German Abitur, and equivalents recognized by the Lebanese Ministry of Education.
