In 2015, the university broadened its remit to include executive and professional education and custom training programs, in addition to the primary Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service degree. It rebranded to Georgetown University in Qatar (previously Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar or SFS-Q) to reflect the broadening of its remit.
The university is notable for its international undergraduate education, based on the core curriculum system of Georgetown University. There are about 400 students on campus all year round. The university has produced 2 Rhodes Scholars since the opening in 2005.
