Global Opportunities

Explore the world and help shape its future

Global learning at Notre Dame goes far beyond our incredible study abroad programs. Undergraduate students engage with the world through semester- and year-long study abroad, as well as international research, internships, language immersion, globally-focused coursework, and community-based learning. And there are study abroad and global experiences available to complement nearly every major.

Along the way, you'll build meaningful relationships, broaden your worldview, and learn to work across cultures with curiosity, compassion, and purpose.

Notre Dame turns the world into my classroom. In class, professors draw on their international experience to prepare me to thrive as a global citizen. Outside the classroom, Notre Dame programs took me to study in Europe and intern in Asia. Everywhere I went, fellow students and alumni welcomed me, and I truly felt like a global citizen.
