Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) has announced the names of the 59 students who have excelled in their academic studies, and achieved the Dean’s List for the fall 2015 and spring 2016 semesters.
“Making the Dean’s List at NU-Q is recognition for students who go beyond a conventional effort, but instead demonstrate rigour and commitment to learning,” said dean and CEO Everette E Dennis.
The Dean’s List is comprised of 36 communication and 23 journalism students, who earned academic distinction in the most recently completed semesters.
Communication majors must have achieved at least a 3.75 grade point average (GPA) out of 4.0 on three graded courses, and journalism majors must have achieved a 3.7 GPA on three graded courses or, if on residency, two graded courses in addition to their residency. A total of 14 freshmen, 16 sophomores, 17 juniors,  four seniors and eight graduates earned places on the list.
