Northwestern University in Qatar has announced its Dean’s List for spring 2015, recognizing the school’s top students.
Recipients of the award were honored at a special luncheon at the HBKU Student Center, where they received their certificates.
NU-Q recognized 56 students who earned the academic distinction, including 27 communication majors who achieved a 3.75 grade point average (GPA) out of 4.0 on three graded courses, and 29 journalism majors who achieved a 3.7 GPA on three graded courses or, if on residency, completed two graded courses in addition to their residency.
“These exceptional and highly motivated students are poised to be educated citizens who can pursue careers in communication, the media industries and other fields of endeavor.” said Dean and CEO of NU-Q Everette E.
