University of Notre Dame

Founded in 1842, the University of Notre Dame is the nation’s leading Catholic research university, providing a distinctive voice in higher education that is at once rigorously intellectual, boldly moral in orientation, and firmly embracing of a service ethos. Rated among the top 20 of all U.S. institutions of higher learning and a member of the Association of American Universities, Notre Dame ranks among the top 10 nationally in the percentage of students who study abroad and has seen research funding more than double in the past decade.

The University is organized into four undergraduate colleges — Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering, and the Mendoza College of Business — the School of Architecture, the Keough School of Global Affairs, the Law School, and the Graduate School. It is located adjacent to the city of South Bend, Indiana, in a region with a population of more than 320,000, and is widely known for its scholarly excellence, Catholic character, legendary athletics programs, and the beauty of its campus, including the Golden Dome of the Main Building, the world’s most recognized university landmark.
