Notre Dame Pre-College: We Are World-Class Academics

We Are ... World-Class Academics

You may have heard the refrain "We Are ND" ring out through Notre Dame Stadium on Saturdays in the fall. But what does that mean? For Notre Dame Pre-College Programs, it means world-class academics, as students take part in unparalleled classroom experiences with our faculty in a rigorous college setting.

On campus, Summer Scholars applicants engage in experiential learning, conducting field work, learning in the lab, and gaining essential skills for academic success in one of 23 academic tracks.

With three tracks centered around global issues, Leadership Seminars offers amazing opportunities for students passionate about becoming the next global leaders.

Internationally, students can study abroad in Ireland to learn about Irish history and culture from some of the nation's best known scholars.

In Rome, join world-renowned architecture and anthropology faculty on a study of the built environment, art history, and anthropology during our study abroad program in Rome.

Whichever program you choose, you can be confident that the academics will be world-class because "We are ND."

Students earn one college credit upon completion of our programs.

Tufts University

Do you know any students interested in international gap-years or semesters? Tufts is proud to offer two First-Year Global Programs that could be great experiences for these students. Each program offers the opportunity to live and work overseas with a cohort of other Tufts students while supporting a community organization, living with a local host family, and discovering the broader world. We ask you to encourage your students to consider one of our two programs:   A First-Year Fall Semester Abroad: The Tufts Civic Semester Civic Semester participants take classes together on the Tufts campus in August before departing for one of two service locations where they study the local language and work part-time at a community organization. Students return to campus for their Spring term with a full semester of academic credit, allowing them to graduate in four years. Civic Semester is a student’s first semester of college, and tuition and fees cover all expenses, including the option to utilize financial aid awards. A Gap Year Before Tufts: The Tufts 1+4 Bridge Year Program Tufts 1+4 is a year of full-time international work before students begin their four years of study on campus. In one of four countries across the globe, students make a difference on an issue they care about, have time to explore new interests, and return with a deeper sense of self and a broader perspective on the world. The Tufts 1+4 program offers full financial support for any student who is admitted to the program and qualifies for Tufts financial aid at any level. If your students are interested in applying, they can do so on the Tufts applicant portal when they submit their Tufts application or at any time once they have been accepted to the University. Please feel free to contact firstyearglobal@tufts.edu with any questions about these exciting opportunities for your students!
