Carnegie Mellon Qatar announces highest enrollment in campus history
Doha, Qatar – September 27, 2023 – The student population at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), a Qatar Foundation partner university, has reached a campus record of 472 students. The students come from 61 nations and nearly 40% are Qatari citizens.
Michael Trick, dean of CMU-Q, commented: “Our students form a diverse community of enthusiastic learners. With the largest enrollment in campus history, this academic year is shaping up to be busy and productive.”
Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar offers undergraduate degree programs in biological sciences, business administration, computer science, and information systems. In addition to the major programs, students choose from a variety of electives in the arts and sciences.
CMU-Q students are also encouraged to explore electives at the other Qatar Foundation partner universities. This academic year, CMU-Q is offering a new joint minor, Multidisciplinary Energy Studies, along with Georgetown University in Qatar and Texas A&M University at Qatar. CMU-Q continues to offer the Media and Politics minor in collaboration with Georgetown University in Qatar and Northwestern University in Qatar.
Trick notes how Education City’s multiversity model benefits the students: “Education City is a special place, and our 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.
