Cross-registration

Overview

Georgetown University in Qatar has an agreement with partner universities that allows its students to take classes for credit at institutions within Education City, and invites students enrolled with its partners to register for GU-Q’s unique offerings. GU-Q also has agreements for several joint minor and certificate programs, which require students to take partner university classes.

At GU-Q, collaboration across institutions is encouraged, offering a unique environment to engage beyond a single discipline. Education City is a unique ecosystem, and those who actively engage with it gain far more than a degree.
