Our undergraduates are quick to explore the world. They flock to our 48 semester, summer, and year-long study abroad programs. There, they are inquisitive. They are adventurous. They are compassionate. Beyond class, they find internships, research opportunities, service projects, all of which open their eyes and their hearts to the world, its people, and its challenges. They return to campus with wisdom, drive, and curiosity, and they pass those attributes, along with their own stories, to friends, professors, and roommates, thus enriching our campus.

Meanwhile, our international scholars bring their diverse upbringings, cultural traditions, world views, and religious beliefs, to campus and share it with those around them. These students – undergraduate, graduate, and high school – unintentionally shape and educate those around them during their time on campus. They make campus a richer, more complex place better equipped to wrestle with the challenges of the world. In turn, we hope they leave with knowledge and curiosity inspired by  Notre Dame’s values and aspirations. And we hope they take what they learn here and spread it within their communities and countries.

At NDG, we believe all our students have the opportunity to go further. We’re here to make it possible.
