Shared Courses and Class Trips
Each year, students have access to shared courses across campus—some with a travel component—which allows them to meet their fellow Hoyas on campus, or another location around the world. Past trips have included visits to India, Mauritius, and Washington, DC.
Bridging Capitals
“This class and exchange trips to both campuses has provided a meaningful cross-cultural experience, strengthening ties between the Hilltop and the Doha campus.” —Alex Sandner, Class of 2025
Women as Changemakers
Each year during Fall or Spring break, students in INAF 2208:Women as Changemakers visit Washington, DC. They engage with GU-DC students and faculty and meet women leaders from various DC-based organizations.
Indian Ocean Studies
The interdisciplinary, cross-campus Indian Ocean Research Colloquium brought students together in India to tour historic sites and better understand the complex modern nation through hands-on research.
Live Online Courses in the Global Classroom
Both the DC and Doha campuses have access to a custom-built digital telepresence classroom that mirrors its counterpart. Here, students can take classes and have live discussions with their peers on their sister campus. Search “RPX Global Classroom” in the course catalogue to find these courses, which have included Quantitative Methods, South Asia in the Indian Ocean, and Race, Power, and Justice at GU.
Other Cross-Location Engagements
Jakarta, Indonesia Campus Visit

Held in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy (ISD) at the School of Foreign Service, this one-credit crisis simulation course is crafted and overseen by ISD faculty, and local diplomats in Qatar. “Drawing on our campus in DC provides unparalleled resources and expertise for students here in Qatar,” said course organizer Dr. Christine Schiwietz.
