Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q)’s ‘A Day in the Life of a Georgetown Student’ event to be held tomorrow will give potential applicants first-hand experience of the campus and the courses on offer. Prospective students can attend sample lectures, meet members of the Georgetown community, and tour the campus.
The event will be held between 4.30pm and 6pm tomorrow.
Held in the weeks leading up to the February 1 application deadline, the event also provides an opportunity for interested students to meet with admissions staff to find out more about the process of applying to study at GU-Q. In addition to receiving application tips and guidance, visitors can also engage with GU-Q’s world renowned faculty and find out more about the fields of study on offer. “At ‘A Day in the Life’, we have an opportunity to highlight aspects of the Georgetown experience that take place inside and outside of the classroom, showcasing our excellent academic program alongside our vibrant student life options,” said Director of Admissions, Joseph Hernandez (pictured).
“This program emphasizes and affirms our commitment to educating the whole person through community service opportunities, international research projects, sports, clubs, and other student activities,” he added.
GU-Q offers a unique inter-disciplinary Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service degree, using the same internationally-ranked curriculum as Georgetown’s main campus in Washington, D.C. Students can major in International Politics, International Economics, International History, or Culture & Politics, and complement their education with certificates in Arab and Regional Studies, American Studies, or Media and Politics.
