Curriculum

The AI and Media minor equips students with essential skills and also encourages them to think critically about the broader social impact of AI in media. With AI transforming the media landscape, our new minor empowers students to critically engage with these technological developments while maintaining a robust ethical foundation. This minor is aligned with Northwestern Qatar’s mission to advance academic excellence and contribute to a well-informed and innovative media environment in Qatar and beyond. Our students will be equipped to navigate the complex realities of AI in media with both intellectual rigor and ethical responsibility.

COURSEWORK

  • Total of six elective courses
  • At least half of the courses must be taken at the 300-level
