We are Notre Dame Global. Stewards of the University of Notre Dame’s enduring commitment to global scholarship, we ensure the essence of this place extends to every corner of the world, serving as a powerful influence for others to join us in partnership and in solidarity that serves the common good.

Supporting Notre Dame in its pursuit of being the leading global Catholic research university, on par with but distinct from the world’s best private universities, Notre Dame Global spans five continents, with active, externally funded research projects in more than 70 countries, just as many study abroad programs, an ever-growing international student population and global alumni base, and a network of 12 Notre Dame academic centers in 10 countries. Through the work of our local and global students, faculty, researchers, and friends the true spirit of this venerable institution—the relentless pursuit of truth, wherever it leads—comes to life in integrative learning experiences that develop global competencies and cultural understanding; collaborative and influential global research that changes lives; thoughtful partnerships that produce transformative engagement; and an inclusive team of global professionals that support it all.
