An International Tradition
Internationalism at the University of Notre Dame is a strength rooted in tradition.
 Founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin, a French priest, the University echoes the scholarly and architectural traditions of Europe and its great institutions of higher learning.
Notre Dame's ascent to national prominence itself is an international story related to the vast migration of European Catholics in the late 19th and 20th centuries, and to its affiliation with the Congregation of Holy Cross, an order deeply engaged in helping the neediest throughout the world.
From medical internships with doctors in Puebla, Mexico to programs in Brazil that focus on poverty, Notre Dame's international studies programs are specifically designed to reflect Notre Dame's values of faith, learning and community. |
