Academics at the School of Foreign Service in Qatar
Our mission builds on the tradition of Georgetown University as a leading student-centered research institution. As part of our commitment to educating the whole person, we promote academic integrity through our Academic Honor System and our students pursue Service-Learning initiatives both in Qatar and across the region.
Our faculty are drawn from the Main Campus of Georgetown University or recruited from around the world. The School of Foreign Service in Qatar possesses a library that supports the learning, teaching, and research goals of our students and faculty while serving as a resource for the entire Doha community.
In addition to our undergraduate educational mission, we support scholarly research and the free exchange of ideas in the Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS), which fosters original research, especially on the Gulf region and the Middle East, and supports the primary and secondary educational system of Doha.
