The University of Notre Dame invites exceptional undergraduate students, both domestic and international, enrolled in universities in the U.S. or around the world to study abroad at one of our global locations or through one of our summer programs. Studying Abroad through Notre Dame will allow non-ND students to take advantage of our state of the art global education programs while earning Notre Dame credits.
Non-ND students participating in our study abroad programs will be enrolled as full-time, visiting, non-degree undergraduate students at ND and will receive an official Notre Dame transcript upon completion of the program. However, credit transfer will be determined by each student’s home institution.
Studying Abroad through Notre Dame offers a number of exciting academic and co-curricular opportunities. Depending on the program, non-Notre Dame students will be able to take advantage of numerous courses and academic opportunities and participate in research, internships, and community engagement abroad.
