The student population at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q) has reached a campus record of 472 students, the highest so far in the school’s history. The students come from 61 nations and nearly 40% are Qatari citizens. CMU-Q is a partner university of Qatar Foundation.
CMU-Q Dean Michael Trick said their students form a diverse community of enthusiastic learners. He noted that with the largest enrolment in campus history, this academic year is shaping up to be busy and productive.
CMU-Q offers undergraduate degree programmes in biological sciences, business administration, computer science and information systems. In addition to the major programmes, students can also choose from a variety of electives in the arts and sciences.
CMU-Q students are also encouraged to explore electives at other Qatar Foundation partner universities.
This academic year, CMU-Q is offering a new joint minor, Multidisciplinary Energy Studies together with Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) and Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ). CMU-Q continues to offer the Media and Politics minor in collaboration with GU-Q and Northwestern University in Qatar.
Dean Trick notes that Education City’s multiversity model benefits the students. He said that Education City is a special place, and students have opportunities for study, research and collaboration that are unique in the world.
I am so pleased to see so many Education City students – including those from CMU-Q – make the most of the multiversity experience and cross register at the partner universities.
Applications are open for students beginning their university studies in August 2024. Visit qatar.cmu.edu for more information about the programmes and courses they offer.
