Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) is Northwestern University’s first overseas campus. Founded in partnership with Qatar Foundation in 2008, NU-Q is located in Education City, Al Rayyan, Qatar. NU-Q offers a liberal arts and media education with undergraduate degrees awarded in communication and journalism.〔(Northwestern University Handbook )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Northwestern University in Qatar )〕 The university graduated its first class in spring 2012.〔(IDA )〕 ==Academic Programs== The curriculum leading to the award of the Bachelor of Science in Communication degree is based on that of the Northwestern University School of Communication on Northwestern’s Evanston campus. Communication students at NU-Q pursue a major in Media Industries and Technologies, which combines elements of the Communication Studies and Radio/TV/Film majors offered in Evanston.〔(The Peninsula )〕 The curriculum leading to the award of the Bachelor of Science in Journalism degree draws on that of the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications in Evanston; this program is accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taking Northwestern Overseas: Campus Life in Qatar: Northwestern University News )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ACEJMC-accredited programs )〕 Liberal arts courses are provided by Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.〔(Zawya )〕 NU-Q courses are modeled closely on those offered on the Evanston campus, although adjustments have been made because NU-Q courses are taught in a fifteen-week semester system, rather than the ten-week quarter system in Evanston.〔(AME Info )〕〔(Northwestern University in Qatar )〕 Additionally, courses with particular relevance to the region are offered at NU-Q.〔(Explore Qatar )〕 In 2012, NU-Q secured permission from the Board of Trustees to make its own academic appointments.〔()〕 NU-Q’s academic programs provide various opportunities for students to participate in international programs. Students in the journalism program are required to complete a junior year residency.〔(Northwestern University in Qatar )〕 Juniors in the communication program are eligible to apply for the Evanston exchange.〔 Shorter international academic trips are offered at various times throughout the year. Past destinations have included Turkey, Switzerland, Italy, South Africa, France, India and the US. All students are eligible their sophomore year to apply for a one-week trip to Evanston, which takes place in May of each year.〔(Northwestern university in Qatar )〕 NU-Q students can access courses at the five other American universities located in Education City.〔(Qatar Foundation )〕 Degrees awarded by Northwestern University on the Qatar Campus are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. All course instruction is in English〔(Northwestern University in Qatar )〕 and admission is competitive.
