Page "Northwestern University" Paragraph 18

In Fall 2008, Northwestern opened a campus in Education City, Doha, Qatar, joining five other American universities: Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, Georgetown University, Texas A & M University, and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Through the Medill School of Journalism and School of Communication, NU-Q offers bachelors degrees in journalism and communication respectively.

The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development provided funding for construction and administrative costs as well as support to hire 50 to 60 faculty and staff, some of whom rotate between the Evanston and Qatar campuses.
