The Georgetown Pre-College Summer Program(GPS), hosted by Georgetown University in Qatar(GU-Q), is an intensive three week coeducational program for students who are preparing to enter university within the next few years. GPS gives highly motivated and academically talented students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with American universities’ systems and ways of teaching. Students will gain valuable experience developing and practicing the academic and personal skills necessary for university-level success. In order to best prepare students to become more competitive applicants to universities, the GPS Program includes a variety of daily classes in an intensive and fast-paced setting. The coursework includes English, International Affairs, Geography, SAT/ACT Preparation (OPTIONAL), and an introduction course to all four majors at Georgetown University (International Politics, International History, International Economics, and Culture & Politics).
