Since 1964, Notre Dame has made it possible for students to earn credits toward graduation in international study programs. Study in another tradition, direct personal experience of another language and culture, and travel all broaden and deepen the liberal education of the whole person. This enrichment is an extension of the educational values to which the University has always been committed. Qualified students from the undergraduate colleges can elect to spend a semester or a year abroad in one of our programs.
Participation is normally during the sophomore or junior year.
However, the Austria program is offered each semester for juniors only. Notre Dame students may also apply to Saint Mary's College Semester Around the World program. Programs are also sponsored by the School of Architecture in Rome, and the Law School in London, the M.B.A. Program, the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Engineering in London. The College of Engineering also offers a summer program in London, England. All of these programs are limited to their own students.
