Who are CMU-Q students?

Every CMU-Q student has been selected from the best applications from Qatar and around the world. Our students are strong academically, but we select them for more than just grades. We look for students who are engaged with their communities, thoughtful about the world and creative in their interests. They have a global mindset, and they work very hard.

What do CMU-Q students learn?

We offer four undergraduate programs at CMU-Q: biological sciences, business administration, computer science and information systems. In each program, students learn the foundation of the discipline, and then they can specialize in different areas of interest.

In all programs, students are looking at real-world problems from their first semester. CMU-Q strongly encourages learning through doing. Students participate in research projects, business case competitions and projects where they engage with external clients.

How do we prepare students for the workplace?

In their classes, research projects and academic enrichment activities, students learn to apply knowledge to the real world. We also offer a comprehensive slate of workshops, events and opportunities for students to learn the skills of networking, job search and interviewing.

How can a CMU-Q student or grad help your organization?

While every organization has different needs, here are some ways our students could contribute to your team.

• Hire an intern: Students are generally available for internships between May and mid-August, although this varies according to the student’s schedule. Interns learn valuable workplace skills while contributing to your team. Many employers go on to hire their interns after graduation.

Students, often from the Business Administration and Information Systems programs, provide valuable insight and enjoy the competitive challenge of solving a real-world problem.
