Notre Dame International

In the past few years, we at Notre Dame International have expanded study abroad opportunities, facilitated expansion in international faculty research, created twelve global locations—in Beijing, Dublin, Jerusalem, London, and Rome Santiago, São Paulo, Mexico City, Hong Kong, Mumbai, and at Kylemore Abbey in western Ireland—all in the hope of bringing Notre Dame, its scholarship, and its values to the world. We understand that in order to be a global university, we must send our students, our scholars, and our administrators out into the world to learn and to work. But we see our reverse mission as equally important. We must bring the world to this campus and allow it to expand our understanding, transform our thinking, open our minds, and enrich our community. This intellectual engagement is both a part of our academic objective, and central to our responsibility as a Catholic research university. But we can’t stop there. We are called to be constantly curious about the world and cultures around us. At Notre Dame International, we can provide students and faculty with the experiences and resources to work with people from around the globe. By understanding their world and their neighbor, we prepare all members of the Notre Dame community to become global citizens who can effectively lead and serve the common good.
