College of Arts and Sciences

CAS offers majors in a variety of relevant and exciting specializations, including Biology, Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Human Nutrition, Statistics, Arabic, Mass Communication, English, History, International Affairs, Sociology, Social Work, Public Health, Psychology, Sport Science and Policy, planning and Development. Minors are also offered in most of these areas as well as in Geology, Translation and Philosophy which allows for expansion of students’ employment prospects through accumulation of knowledge and skills outside of the main chosen area of studies. CAS also houses an Arabic program for Non-Native speakers who want to excel in the language. In addition to offering courses to over 6000 CAS students, those from all other majors at QU also complete courses at CAS.

In addition to the above, CAS offers 6 Graduate Programs, 2 in Arts and 4 in Sciences. These are: Master of Science in Environmental Sciences,Master of Arts in Gulf Studies, Master of Arts in Arabic Language, Master of Science in Biomedical Science, Master of Science in Materials Science and Technology and a PhD in Biological and Environmental Sciences. In Order to foster a research inducing culture, 3 research centers were established in fall 2013: Gulf Studies Center, Sustainable Development Center, and Humanities and Social Sciences Center.

We believe that research is one of three key pillars of academic excellence, along with teaching and community engagement. Research enables faculty to innovate, provides experiential learning for students, and introduces adapted solutions for pressing societal needs. At CAS, we strive to continuously develop our scientific infrastructure to ensure that faculty and students have access to quality research space and resources they need. We also work to encourage intra- and inter-institutional collaborations to increase research productivity and foster an entrepreneurial atmosphere as to help move scientific discoveries to communities and the marketplace. We believe that CAS can leverage its size and diversity to serve as a model for interdisciplinary research excellence at QU and in the region. To do so, it is critical for us to capitalize on potential interdisciplinary synergies provided by the multiplicity of disciplines within CAS. This is because of the growing recognition among academic institutions that competitive advantages lie in the "white spaces" between disciplines and can be harnessed only through interdisciplinary collaboration and integration. The latter also enables focus and leveraging of assets (human and infrastructure) to maximize cost-effectiveness and impact.

CAS is home to a large number of talented faculty researchers from around the globe who are pursuing research in areas as diverse as Social sciences, Humanities, Health Sciences, Environmental Sciences, and Basic sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Biology). The caliber of our researchers is reflected in our large and increasing research grant portfolio.

We believe that CAS is set to achieve even greater research accomplishments in the years ahead as we strengthen our research infrastructure, streamline our processes, and continue to further align and refine our research priorities with those of Qatar 2030 national vision and Qatar national development strategy 2011-2016. To do so, we will be guided by the following strategic goals:

  1. Attract, retain and reward high caliber research faculty and
  2. Prioritize, reallocate and setup world-class core labs for interdisciplinary research
  3. Achieve a highly recognized impact research and encourage research projects that are in alignment with national research priorities.

To reach these goals, we will:

  1. Engage faculty in the strategic vision for research,
  2. Identify and implement interdisciplinary research initiatives,
  3. Strengthen interdisciplinary research portfolio,
  4. Enhance student research and experiential learning,
  5. Establish outreach/engagement mechanisms with stakeholders, and
  6. Seek strategic research partnerships to maximize synergies and impact.

We are fully committed to providing our faculty, staff, and students the best possible research infrastructure and work environment to enable them to achieve excellence and reach their potential.
