As a top 20 national research institution, Notre Dame offers a world-class academic experience with opportunities for student research, creative pursuits, and projects that go beyond the classroom. Innovative ideas are celebrated here because we know that exploration is key to discovery. As a Notre Dame student, you'll join an international community of students, faculty, and alumni who are as dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge as they are to the Notre Dame family. You'll learn in classrooms and labs under the guidance of faculty who are the leading experts in their fields.

Academic inquiry and self-discovery go hand-in-hand. We encourage you to ask the big questions: What are my values? How can my passions contribute to the greater good? What is my calling?
