More than 150 students at QF partner Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) have been recognised for their high academic achievement during the Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 semesters with the release of the Dean’s Academic Honors.
The list of high achievers is based on overall academic performance during the previous school term. Full-time, undergraduate students earn First Honors by achieving a semester grade point average, or GPA, of 3.9 or higher. They earn Second Honors for earning a GPA of 3.7 to 3.89.
A total of 153 student recipients were acknowledged this year, representing all four offered majors at the university, including Culture and Politics, International Economics, International Politics, and International History. GU-Q offers students in Qatar the same internationally recognised Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service degree offered on its Washington, DC, campus, allowing students and faculty to engage, conduct research, and be a part of an educational enterprise that is uniquely positioned to shape international affairs in the century ahead.
The annual academic honors are traditionally celebrated with a reception and award ceremony hosted by the university’s dean, Dr. Ahmad Dallal. In his announcement to the university community, Dean Dallal highlighted the remarkable achievements of the honors students in light of the global health crisis that made an in-person ceremony impossible.
