See the World

Students have many opportunities to learn about the world outside of Qatar, and most will travel for learning experiences during their undergraduate education.

Global Learning Trips

Global Learning Trips are organized and led by faculty or staff members, and focus on topics that will expand students’ horizons. During academic breaks, these chaperoned trips encourage students to see the world in a new way, expand their personal and professional goals, engage in experiential learning, and share their takeaways with the CMU-Q community.

Global Learning Trips change every year. Here are just a few:

Exploring the intersection between technology, business and culture | Seoul, South Korea

Women’s empowerment | Dublin, Ireland

Food insecurity volunteer program | Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Art meets technology | Emilia-Romagna, Modena and Bologna, Italy

Unveiling Japan: Embracing tradition and innovation | Tokyo, Japan

Achieving carbon neutrality | Kathmandu, Nepal and Thimphu, Bhutan

AI Economics of the Future | London, UK

Sustainability and Perception | Oslo, Norway

IMPAQT: Initiating Meaningful Pittsburgh and Qatar Ties | Pittsburgh, USA

Study Abroad

Nearly half of CMU-Q students spend a semester abroad, with most choosing to study at the home campus in Pittsburgh. This is an opportunity for students to challenge themselves academically by taking courses not offered in Qatar, as well as experience life on a larger campus.

Here is where students have gone in recent years:

Yonsei University
Semester at Sea
Kings College
University of Boconi
Carnegie Mellon University

Summer Learning Experiences

Each year, there are many opportunities for students to gain experience, and sometimes course credit, through international learning experiences. Some of the opportunities are led by the Qatar campus, and others by various colleges and departments at the Pittsburgh campus.
