SOMETIMES PATH FINDING A NEW MEANS DRAWING A NEW MAP Setting foot on the Notre Dame campus, one thing becomes clear: our devotion to charting new paths is inherent in everything we do from global business initiatives to on-campus recycling programs. A driving force behind some of the most exciting changes over the past two centuries, we have received Congressional Gold Medals and produced Nobel Laureates while being recognized as thought leaders in aerospace studies, global health, and philosophy. But beyond this, we equip our students with the powers of discernment, sense of self, and a strong educational base that allows them to become impactful members of society.
PURSUIT FROM INTELLECTUAL TO THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS Academics are central to life on Notre Dame s campus and applicable to every experience beyond it. Here, you will learn to explore the world from every angle, across every spectrum. You ll engage with more topics, write more, and dispute more than you have in your entire life. You will be challenged to discover the right questions, not just the right answers. At the same time, you ll benefit from state-of-the-art resources, learn from some of the most influential minds, and explore ideas on-campus, as well as off. It is this process of intellectual engagement and hands-on experience that will help you find your true calling in life, and then apply it to the world.
WITH A CRITICAL MIND COMES Spirit Notre Dame was founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross over 170 years ago, and today, this remains an important part of our tradition. But in addition to providing spiritual discovery, our Catholicism is also an intellectual pursuit. At Notre Dame you ll be challenged to search for unconventional solutions to age-old questions, inspired by thought-provoking discussions, and encouraged to consider your wider role in the world. You ll become a part of an open-minded environment that welcomes all religions, beliefs, and ideas. DISCOVERING YOUR FAITH IS AN INTENSELY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE BUT AT NOTRE DAME, YOU LL NEVER BE ALONE IN IT.
